Christmas Doily Pattern

I had a special request for my Christmas Doily Pattern so here it is. The next time I start one I will post a tutorial for those who might like to see it. My adopted Grandma Mary taught me how to crochet 24 years ago and she gave me this pattern and it has been a favorite of mine all these years. Every time I make it I think of Grandma Mary!

This pattern came from Super Yarn Mart which doesn’t exist anymore.

Materials: 3 skeins of 4 ply yarn – 1 skein white, 1 skein red, 1 skein green. Crochet hooks “H” or “G” as desired. (Note, making these in any color either solid or as you please is so much fun too)!

Note: Work in back loop of each stitch throughout.

With Green, ch 5 and join to form a circle.
Round 1: Ch 3, and work 9 dc in circle, join with sl st.
Round 2: Ch 3, work 1 dc in same space, 2 dc in each dc around, join – 20 dc.
Round 3: Ch 3, work 1 dc in same space, 2 dc in each dc around, join – 40 dc.
Round 4: Ch 5, work 1 Tr and Ch 1 in each dc around, join.
Round 5: Ch 15, sc in each ch 1 space of previous row, continue around, join. – 40 Ch 15
loops.
Round 6: Sk 1 st, *sc in next 6 sts of ch 15 loop, 3 sc in 7th st, sc in next 6 std, sk 2 sc**,
Repeat from * to ** around, join. Change to white yarn.
Round 7: *Sc in next 6 sc, 3 sc in 7th st, sc in next 6 sc, sk 2 sc, repeat from * around.
Round 8: Repeat Row 7.
Round 9: Repeat Row 7.
Round 10: Repeat Row 7.
Round 11: With Green yarn, Repeat Row 7.
Rounds 12 and 13: With White yarn, Repeat Row 7.
Rounds 14 and 15: With Red ear, Repeat Row 7.
Rounds 16 and 17: With White yarn, Repeat Row 7.
Rounds 18 and 19: With Green yarn, Repeat Row 7.
(I usually make mine with 20 rows.)

CrochetChristmasDoilyI hope that you enjoy this pattern as much as I have throughout the years!
