Instructions
Start with a magic ring, into which you crochet 2 ch and 7 sc.
In the second round, double the number of stitches so that you now have 16 stitches.
The third round consists of * one sc and two sc in one stitch *, which gives 24 stitches.
Next comes the fourth round, working 2 sc and 2 sc in one stitch.
Crochet this sequence of stitches 8 times, so that you end up with 32 sc at the end of the round.
Finish the round with a sl st.
From here on, you no longer crochet in a spiral, but in rounds.
After 3 sl st, crochet 3 ch and 4 dc into one stitch. Repeat the section between the two
asterisks 7 times. * Sk 3 st, work 5 dc into one stitch *.
Finish with one sl st.

Now you need to work 3 sl st, 2 ch and 2 sc into the middle tr of the previous round, followed by 5 ch.
Then work the following sequence seven times: 3 sc into the second tr of the previous round, followed by 5 ch.
Your doily now looks like this:
Continue with two ch, two sc, six sc in the ch sp, as well as seven sets of 3 sc and 6 sc in the ch sp, and one sl st in the
next round.
