Part of “The Tea Time Collection”

Imaginative Knits has ventured into crochet!

DESCRIPTION
My first doily pattern! :) I specialize in designing small items, like coasters, but I wanted to challenge myself by designing a larger doily (compared to the coasters and mini doily I’ve designed previously). I started designing this doily back in September, but I wasn’t able to think up of the ideal way to complete the edging until recently.

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

The pattern consists of 21 rounds. Petals is considered an advanced level pattern, with the use of front and back post stitches, chainless crochet stitches (CSDC and CSTC), splits, clusters, popcorns, picots, and magic loop.

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