. Basic Center for the Little Beauties! Copyright © 2001 by James G. Davis . . Materials for Each Doily: Size 10 cotton crochet thread - approx. 20 - 30 yds of color stated on individual pattern page AND approx. 50 - 60 yds of White (per doily); size 7 (1.65mm) steel hook (I'm using a Boye hook) OR Size Needed for Gauge. . Gauge: RNDS 1 - 3 of Basic Center = 1½" across . Special Stitches: V-Stitch (V-st) - (dc, ch 1, dc) in st or sp indicated V-Stitch in V-Stitch (V-st in V-st) - work V-st in ch-1 sp of next V-st . Notes: I'm working these doilies somewhat tightly. For Best Results, you may also wish to work fairly tight or use a smaller hook if necessary. Because many crocheters (myself included!) tend to work sc sts a little tighter than taller sts (dc, tr, etc.), Rnds 6 & 7 may cause center to "cup" slightly, but doilies will lay flat when they're washed and blocked. . . With color stated in pattern, ch 5, join with sl st in first ch to form ring. . RND 1: ch 4 (counts as first dc and 1 ch), (dc in ring, ch 1) 9 times, join with sl st in 3rd ch of beg ch 4.
