Part of “The Tea Time Collection” eBook

Imaginative Knits has ventured into crochet!

Darjeeling is a region in India at the foothills of the Himalayas. There’s a tea variety that originates from the region. Since it’s near the mountains, Darjeeling is a snowflake-like doily that measures 9 inches or 23 cm in diameter.

NOTES

This pattern is available in American English and Russian crochet terminology.

The pattern consists of 19 rounds. It is considered an advanced level pattern with the use of front and back post stitches, chainless crochet stitches (CSDC, CSTC, CSDTR), splits, special clusters, special popcorns, picots, buillion/puff, and Irish-Style magic loop.

On my blog are some suggestions of tutorials for the harder stitches:
