That sounds like a beautiful project! Combining a classic circular doily with delicate, petal-like motifs<\/strong> creates a gorgeous, intricate lace piece. This tutorial details a pattern that achieves this effect using a progression of stitches to form pronounced “petals” around the perimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will use a shell stitch variation<\/strong> to create the petal shapes and higher chain counts to build the open lace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part 1: Solid Center and Anchor Points<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We start with a solid center circle and then create the foundation for the petal sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Round 1 (Center):<\/strong> Make a Magic Ring<\/strong>. ch 3<\/strong> (counts as first dc). Work 15 dc<\/strong> into the ring. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3. (16 sts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Round 2 (Mesh):<\/strong> ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as st). sc<\/strong> in the same st. ch 3<\/strong>. Skip 1 st. Repeat [sc in the next st, ch 3, sk 1 st]<\/strong> around. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc. (8 sc anchors, 8 ch-3 loops).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Round 3 (Increase):<\/strong> sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-3 loop. ch 3<\/strong> (counts as dc). Work 2 dc<\/strong> into the same loop. ch 2<\/strong>. Repeat [3 dc in the next ch-3 loop, ch 2]<\/strong> around. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3. (8 clusters of 3 dc).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Part 2: Forming the Petal Bodies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      We will use shell stitches and treble crochets to give the motif height and a pronounced, curved shape, resembling petals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Round 4 (Petal Base):<\/strong>sl st<\/strong> into the next 2 dc’s and into the ch-2 space.\n
          \n
        • ch 1<\/strong>. Work sc<\/strong> into the ch-2 space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • ch 4<\/strong> (creates a high loop between petals).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Repeat [sc in the next ch-2 space, ch 4]<\/strong> around. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Round 5 (Petal Build-Up):<\/strong>sl st<\/strong> into the ch-4 loop.\n
            \n
          • ch 3<\/strong> (counts as dc). Work [2 dc, ch 1, 3 dc]<\/strong> into the same ch-4 loop. (This is a shell).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • ch 2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Repeat [Shell (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in the next ch-4 loop, ch 2]<\/strong> around. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 3. (8 shells).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Round 6 (Petal Height):<\/strong>sl st<\/strong> into the next 3 dc’s, and into the ch-1 peak of the shell.\n
              \n
            • ch 4<\/strong> (counts as tr). Work [4 tr, ch 2, 5 tr]<\/strong> into the same ch-1 space. (This creates a larger, taller shell).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • sc<\/strong> into the ch-2 space between the shells.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Repeat [Large Shell (5 tr, ch 2, 5 tr) in the ch-1 peak, sc in the ch-2 space]<\/strong> around. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the beginning ch 4. (8 large petals).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Part 3: The Final Lace Edging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              The final rounds focus on opening up the space between the large petals and finishing the edge with picots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Round 7 (Separation):<\/strong>sl st<\/strong> into the next 4 tr’s, and into the ch-2 peak of the large shell.\n
                  \n
                • ch 6<\/strong> (creates a large space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Work sc<\/strong> into the next sc anchor stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • ch 6<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Repeat [sc into the ch-2 peak of the large shell, ch 6, sc into the sc anchor stitch, ch 6]<\/strong> around. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sl st.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Round 8 (Picot Edge):<\/strong>sl st<\/strong> into the first ch-6 loop.\n
                    \n
                  • ch 1<\/strong>. Work 3 sc<\/strong> into the ch-6 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Picot:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong>, sl st<\/strong> into the first ch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Work 3 sc<\/strong> into the same loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Repeat [3 sc, picot, 3 sc]<\/strong> into every ch-6 loop around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Finish:<\/strong> Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc. Fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Finishing and Blocking (Essential)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    For the doily to display the lace pattern and the petal shapes correctly, blocking is crucial<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. Weave in Ends:<\/strong> Use your tapestry needle to securely weave in all ends on the back of the doily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Soak:<\/strong> Submerge the doily in lukewarm water (or a mild starch solution).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. Pin:<\/strong> Gently squeeze out excess water. Lay the doily on a foam or cork board and pin every single point (the picots and the centers of the large shells) outward, stretching the motif into a perfect circle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    4. Dry:<\/strong> Allow it to dry completely before unpinning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
