ROYAL SOCIETY SIX CORD CORDICHET, Size 30, 2 balls of White or Ecru.
Steel Crochet Hook No. 10.

Doily measures 11½ inches in diameter.

Starting at center, ch 12. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 3, 23 dc in ring. Join with sl st to 3rd st of ch-3. 2nd rnd: Sc in same place as sl st, (ch 6, skip 3 dc, sc in next dc) 6 times; sl st in first sc. 3rd rnd: In each sp around make sc, half dc, dc, 4 tr, dc, half dc and sc. Join to first sc (6 petals). 4th rnd: Ch 6, dc in same place as sl st, * ch 5, between next 2 petals make dc, ch 3 and dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 5. Join to 3rd ch of ch-6. 5th rnd: Ch 3, make * 6 dc in ch-3 sp, dc in next dc, ch 5, dc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 6th rnd: Ch 3, holding back on hook the last loop of each dc, make dc in next 7 dc, thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster made), * ch 7, sc in next sp, ch 7, make a cluster as before over next 8 dc. Repeat from * around. Join. 7th rnd: Sl st to center of loop, sc in same loop, * ch 7, sc in next loop. Repeat from * around. Join. 8th rnd: Ch 4, holding back on hook the last loop of each tr make a 3-tr cluster in same place as sl st, ch 4, make another 3-tr cluster in same place as last cluster was made, * ch 7, in next sc make cluster, ch 4 and cluster. Repeat from * around. Join. 9th rnd: Sl st to center of next sp, sc in same sp, * ch 5, in center st of next chain make dc, ch 3 and dc (shell made); ch 5, sc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join. 10th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch, sc in next ch, * ch 3, shell in sp of next shell (shell made over shell); (ch 3, sc in center st of next ch-5) twice. Repeat from * around. Join. 11th rnd: Sl st, in next 3 ch, in next dc and in sp of shell, ch 6, dc in same sp (starting shell made over shell), * ch 3, skip ch-3 sp, 8 tr in next sp, ch 3, shell over shell. Repeat from * around. Join. 12th rnd: Sl st in next sp, * shell over shell, ch 3, (tr in next tr, ch 1) 7 times; tr in next tr, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 13th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 3, sc in next tr, (ch 4, sc in next tr) 7 times; ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 14th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 3, sc in ch-4 loop, (ch 4, sc in next loop) 6 times; ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join.
   15th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 3, sc in ch-4 loop, (ch 4, sc in next loop) 5 times; ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 16th rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 6, in sp of same shell make dc, ch 3 and dc (2 shells made); * ch 3, sc in ch-4 loop, (ch 4, sc in next loop) 4 times; ch 3, in sp of next shell make (dc, ch 3) twice and dc (2 shells made). Repeat from * around. Join. 17th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 3, shell over next shell, ch 3, sc in next loop, (ch 4, sc in next loop) 3 times; ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 18th rnd: * Shell over shell, ch 1, shell in next sp, ch 1, shell over shell, ch 3, sc in next ch-4 loop, (ch 4, sc in next loop) twice; ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 19th rnd: * (Shell over shell, ch 3) 3 times; sc in ch-4 loop, ch 4, sc in next loop, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 20th rnd: * (Shell over shell, ch 3, dc in next sp, ch 3) twice; shell over shell, ch 3, sc in next ch-4 loop, ch 3. Repeat from * around. Join. 21st rnd: * Shell over shell, ** (ch 3, dc in next sp) twice; ch 3. Repeat from * once more, (shell over shell) twice. Repeat from ** around. Join. 22nd rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 4 (to count as tr), and complete a 3-tr cluster in same sp, * ch 6, skip next sp, (make a 3-tr cluster in next dc) twice; ch 6, shell over shell, ch 6, skip next sp, (cluster in next dc) twice; ch 6, (cluster in sp of next shell) twice. Repeat from * around. Join. 23rd rnd: Ch 4, and complete a cluster in same place as sl st, (ch 5, cluster in tip of next cluster) twice; * ch 5, shell over shell, (ch 5, cluster in tip of next cluster) 6 times. Repeat from * around. Join. 24th rnd: Sl st to center of next sp, sc in same sp, * ch 4, in next sp make dc, ch 3 and dc; ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 4, shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join. 25th rnd: Sl st in next 2 ch, sc in same loop, * ch 4, shell over shell, ch 4, sc in next sp, ch 3, sc in next sp. Repeat from * around. Join and break off.
