The pattern is written in US terminology.

SIZING MEASUREMENTS :

The completed doily when pinned in shape to block will measure upto 18 incjes diameter.

SPECIAL STITCHES :

QRTR : Quadruple Treble : Yarn over 4 times, insert the hook into R12 chain space and pull through, (YO and pull though 2 loops) 5 times.

PS : Puff Stitch : (YO  insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop through that stitch ) 5 times, YO pull through the first 10 loops on the hook and YO pull through last 2 loops and close the puff.

NOTES :

1. Ch3 is considered as 1Dc in all rows.
2. Slst at the end of each round is to close the round. So slip stitch into the third chain of the first Ch3 of the respective rounds or slip stitch to the starting Bpdc stitche of each round.
3. Ch1 before the Bpdc is not considered as a stitch.
4. The number (a) written at the end of each round, indicates the number of stitches in the round.
5. Number mentioned before a stitch is the number of stitches in the same stitch, and number mentioned after with the “x” is the number of repeats in the consecutive stitches. Eg : 3Dc x2 means, do 3 Double crochet into the same stitch and again 3 Double crochet into the next stitch as well.
