Cut the yarn then weave in ends.

Let’s call rows 23-31 as section A.

Then find the diametrically opposite section. Then also find the beginning of round 22 in this section. Here attach your yarn in the first ch5 sp of round 22.

Repeat section A in the same way, from here.

This completed section is called section B. A and B are diametrically opposite to each other.

Now we will be working in a round once all around the doily to create clusters and picots. This will be round 32.

  • Attach your yarn in the first ch5 sp next to section A (i.e. at the end of row 23).

*[(cluster in ch5 sp, ch3, p, ch3) repeat ** 10 times, sc in ch3 sp, ch3] repeat * 3 times

Finally you reach the beginning of section B.

^{ Work clusters and picots upwards in the ch4 sp at the beginning/end of each row from 23-31 accordingly.

** (cluster, ch3, p, ch3) repeat ** 8 times until you reach the topmost row 31.

In the same ch4 sp, **(cluster, ch3, p, ch3) repeat ** 3 times

Now continue working clusters and picots downwards in the ch4 sp at the beginning/end of each row from 23-31 accordingly.

** (cluster, ch3, p, ch3) repeat ** till 7 times, cluster, ch3, sc in ch3 sp, ch3 }

Now you reach the beginning of the next section.

*[(cluster in ch5 sp, ch3, p, ch3) repeat ** 10 times, ch3, sc in ch3 sp, ch3] repeat until 3 times

You reach at the beginning of section A.

Repeat ^{ }

At last cut the yarn and weave in ends.
