Round 2: Ch1, 1sc in the same st, (ch6, skip 1 st, 1sc into next st) x 5, ch6, sl st on starting 1sc.
Round 3: sl st twice into subsequent ch6 sp, ch3, 2dc-cluster in the same ch6 sp, ch7, 1 picot st, ch3, 3 dc-cluster in the same ch6 sp, (ch6, 3dc-cluster in the next ch6 sp, ch7, 1 picot, ch3, 3dc-cluster in same ch6 sp) x 5, ch6, sl st on top of starting ch3. Fasten off.
Round 4: Attach yarn in one ch6 sp of round 3, ch6, 1dc in the same space, (ch10, 1dc in the next ch6 sp, ch3, 1dc in the same ch6 sp) x 5, ch10, sl st in 3rd ch of the starting ch6.
Round 5: ch3, 1dc in ch3 sp, ch2, 2dc in ch3 sp, ch1, 1 fan-st (consisting of 7tr each separated by ch1) in ch10 sp, {ch1, cl-V-st (consisting of 2dc,ch2,2dc in 1 st) in ch3 sp, ch1, fan-st in ch10 sp}. Repeat pattern in {} 4 more times, ch1, sl st on top of starting ch3.
Petals:
The central circular part is ready until this point. Secondly the petals of doily will be made individually. Each petal will be named Petal A, B, C, D, E and F.
Continuing further from end of round 5, Petal A is formed as follows:
Row 6A: Sl st in next st, sl st into next ch2 sp, ch3 and turn the pattern over. Ch3, 2dc-cluster in the same ch2 sp, ch2, skip ch1 sp, 1sc in 1st ch1 sp of fan-st between 2tr,( ch4, 1sc in next ch1 sp) x 5, ch2, 3dc-cluster in the ch2 sp of cl-V-st,turn over.
Row 7A: ch3, 2dc-cluster in the same st, ch2, 1sc in ch4 sp, (ch4, 1sc in next ch4 sp) x 4, ch2, 3dc-cluster on top of 3dc-cluster of the previous row, turn over.
Row 8A: ch3, 2dc-cluster in the same st, ch2, 1sc in ch4 sp, (ch4, 1sc in next ch4 sp) x 3, ch2, 3dc-cluster on top of 3dc-cluster of the previous row, turn over.
Row 9A: ch3, 2dc-cluster in the same st, ch2, 1sc in ch4 sp, (ch4, 1sc in next ch4 sp) x 2, ch2, 3dc-cluster on top of 3dc-cluster of the previous row, turn over.
Row10A: ch3, 2dc-cluster in the same st, ch2, 1sc in ch4 sp, ch4, 1sc in next ch4 sp, ch2, 3dc-cluster on top of 3dc-cluster of the previous row, turn over.
Row 11A: ch3, 2dc-cluster in the same st, ch2, 1sc in ch4 sp, ch2, 3dc-cluster on top of 3dc-cluster of the previous row, fasten off.
Petal B To Petal F Attach yarn to ch2 sp of cl-V-st adjacent to previously formed petal. Repeat steps from Row 6A to Row 11A specifically.
