Large Doily. Starting at center, ch 8. Join with sl st to form ring. 1st rnd: Ch 4 (to count as d c and ch-1), * d c in ring, ch 1. Repeat from * 8 more times, joining with sl st to 3rd ch of ch-4 first made (10 d c in ring). 2nd rnd: Sl st in 1st sp, ch 5 (to count as d c and ch-2), * d c in same ch-1 sp, ch 2, d c in next ch-1 sp, ch 2. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to 3rd ch of ch-5 first made. 3rd rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 5, * d c in same sp, ch 3, skip 1 sp, d c in next sp, ch 2. Repeat from * around, ending rnd with sl st to 3rd ch of ch-5 first made. 4th rnd: Sl st in next sp, ch 5, * d c in same sp, ch 5, skip ch-3, d c under next ch-2, ch 2. Repeat from * around, ending rnd as before. 5th rnd: Same as 4th rnd, but making ch-6 instead of ch-5. 6th, 7th and 8th rnds: Same as 4th rnd, but increasing sufficient number of ch's between 2-d c groups to keep work flat. 9th rnd: Sl st to next ch-2 sp, ch 5, * d c in same sp, ch 5, d c in center ch between 2-d c groups, ch 2, d c in same ch, ch 5, d c in ch-2 sp, ch 2. Repeat from * around, ending rnd with sl st as before (twenty 2-d c groups made). Work over these 20 d c-groups as for center of doily, for 10 more rnds, taking care to keep work flat. 20th rnd: Sl st in 1st ch-2 sp, ch 4 (to count as 1 tr), 6 tr in same sp (1 shell made), * ch 7, 7 tr in next ch-2 sp. Repeat from * around, ending rnd with sl st in 4th ch of ch-4 first made. 21st rnd: S c in same st as sl st was just made, * ch 13, s c in last tr of shell, ch 7, s c in 1st tr of next shell. Repeat from * around, ending rnd with sl st in 1st s c made (one ch-13 loop-rnd made; this completes center of doily). 22nd rnd: To begin middle section, sl st to center ch of ch-13, ch 5, * d c in same ch-13 loop, ch 13, d c in center ch of next ch-13 loop, ch 2. Repeat from * around, ending rnd with sl st in 4th ch of ch-5 first made. 23rd rnd: Same as 9th rnd (forty 2-d c groups made). Work over these 40 d c-groups as before for 10 more rnds, taking care to keep work flat, and ending with a ch-13 loop rnd. (This completes middle of doily.) Then, for outer section of doily, subdivide these 40 d c-groups into 80 groups (in same manner as 20 groups were divided into 40 groups), taking care to keep work flat. Complete outer section as for middle section. Break off.

Small Doilies (Make 2). Work as for large doily through middle section. Break off.
