Notes
 Please read the «Stitch guide» section before beginning;
 Some special stitches are placed in the text of the pattern, not in the «Stitch guide», it's
made for your convenience;
 Join the rounds with a SLST in the top of the beginning stitch unless otherwise noted;
 You may use CH3 instead of CSDC;
 Pattern repeats are marked with * ... *, • … • and different color;
 All recommendations and notes are italics;
 Groups of stitches are listed in [...] ;
 If you have any questions or you find some errors or typographical mistakes, please contact
me and let me know;
 For accurate and professional look, the finished piece should be blocked.
Wash it by hand (you may add some starch), gently press out the liquid, being careful not
to pull or twist on the stitches. Lay it on flat blocking mat and pin the doily with stainless
steel pins working from the center out to the edges. Remove the pins when the doily is
completely dry.

Happy crocheting!

ST Stitch.
CH Chain.
SLST Slip stitch.
SC Single crochet.
DC Double crochet.

CSDC Chainless starting double crochet is a seamless beginning

stitch, but you may choose to CH3 instead.
Counts as first DC of a round.
TR Treble (2 yo).

FP-... Complete stitch around the front post of stitch indicated.

BP-... Complete stitch around the back post of stitch indicated

…-cluster A set of stitches joined together at the top.

Holding back the last loop of all stitches in cluster set,
complete the number of stitches into the stitch or space
indicated, yo, and pull through all loops on hook.
...-tog Several indicated stitches worked together.
Holding back the last loop of all stitches, work each stitch
into/around all stitches or spaces indicated. YO, pull through
