BlattKranz Meyer 36
One of at least two Niebling patterns called Blattkranz. The original pattern calls for size 150 crochet thread and size 0 knitting needles, and it makes a 36 cm in diameter doily. First knit 8 motifs. They are then joined in a round and the remaining stitches picked up and knit, decreasing toward the center.
For each motif, cast on 8 stitches and knit chart A, repeating the pattern 8 times per round. In round 24 increase the 3 yarnovers to 11 stitches as shown. After round 28 bind off the stitches from 5 repeats with a crochet hook; decrease 5 stitches with a single crochet and chain 14 after each decrease. Place the remaining 72 stitches on a stitch holder or waste thread. Repeat until you have 8 motifs ready.
When all 8 motifs have been knitted, place all the live stitches (72 stitches from each motif) onto a circular knitting needle. Work according to chart B, decreasing toward the center of the doily. When 8 stitches remain, cut the thread, run the end through the 8 stitches and pull tightly.
