Achteckige Mitteldecke

I think this is a lovely design. You can see a photo of it in the Ravelry database. It makes a doily or centerpiece about 40 cm in diameter. It was originally published in Beyer 7014. The pattern calls for the following materials: 30 g crochet thread size 60, knitting needles size 1.5, circular needle size 1.5, 40 cm long, crochet hook size 12. To see a larger image of the chart, right-click on it and select "view image" or whatever your browser offers.

Cast on 8 stitches, join in a round. Knit round 2, then follow the chart beginning with round 3, repeating the pattern 8 times per round. Knit the rounds not shown on the chart, and where there are double YOs, on the following round knit the first loop and purl the second loop.

When you come to the stitches inside the red border, knit them twice in each repeat. Knit the stitches outside the red border once per repeat. Finally, bind off in the last round with a crochet hook, decreasing stitches as shown. Chain 9 stitches between decreases. Block into an octagonal shape.

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!
