Leaf Doily with Arches

Doily, 40 cm in diameter. Fine crochet thread and size 2 knitting needles. This pretty doily consists of a ring of leaves, a bit like oak leaves, surrounded by ogives, arches like those in a church window. There are two kinds of background mesh and one is the ssk, 2yo, k2tog typical of Herbert Niebling designs. However I couldn't find this design in the Ravelry database, so I don't know who designed it or where it comes from. Perhaps one of you readers will be able to identify it for me?

Cast on 6 stitches, join into a round and repeat the pattern 6 times per round. Beginning with round 69 repeat the chart 24 times per round. After round 80, crochet the decreases as shown in the last round, and chain 8 between the decreases.

Remember:

  • Feel free to download and use the charts, print copies for your own use. However, you may not print them out and share them with others. Send folks to my website so they can download for themselves.
  • I don't own the original pattern, but I do own my recharted version. So, please don't copy my charts and claim them as your own or publish them under your name. If you want to have your own charts, then find the original patterns and rechart them yourself!
  • Do not sell copies of these charts. If I don't charge for my recharts, you certainly shouldn't charge for my recharts!
