Alnus
Alnus is an oval doily published in Kunstbreiwerk B39. Unlike many oval doilies where the center is knit in the round first, and then the oval ends are picked up and knit back and forth, the shape of this doily is created by the design itself. The way the increases and decreases are designed makes a natural oval shape.You can see a photo of the doily on the Ravelry database page for Alnus.
It's a big chart, so I have divided it into left and right halves. Probably the easiest thing to do is print each half chart and tape them together.
Instruction: Cast on 4 stitches, the repeat the chart twice per round. After the 64th round, crochet as many stitches together as indicated, chain 12 after each decrease. Join the last ch12 to the first decrease. In the next round, chain 14 stitches, then join to previous round at each decrease.
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!
