🌼 Pattern Overview

This doily flower is worked in the round, starting with a center circle, then creating two layers of petals and an optional decorative edging.


✨ Step-by-Step Instructions



πŸ”˜ Round 1 – Center Circle

  1. Start with a magic ring (or CH 4 and SL ST to form a ring).

  2. CH 3 (counts as 1 DC), then work 11 DC into the ring.
    πŸ‘‰ Total: 12 DC

  3. SL ST into the top of the starting CH 3 to close the round.

πŸ“ You now have a small flat circle, which will form the base of the flower.


🌸 Round 2 – Create Petal Bases

  1. CH 1, SC in the same stitch.

  2. CH 3, skip 1 stitch, SC in the next stitch — repeat around.

  3. End with 6 CH-3 loops.

  4. SL ST to the first SC to join.

πŸ“ These loops are where the first set of petals will be made.


🌺 Round 3 – First Layer of Petals

  1. SL ST into the first CH-3 loop.

  2. Into each CH-3 space, work:
    πŸ‘‰ (SC, HDC, 3 DC, HDC, SC).

  3. Repeat in all 6 loops.

  4. SL ST to the first SC to finish the round.

πŸ’‘ Now your flower has 6 small, rounded petals.


🌿 Round 4 – Back Layer Loops (For Second Petals)

  1. CH 1, working behind the petals, SC into the base stitch behind the first petal.

  2. CH 5, SC into the base stitch behind the next petal — repeat around.

  3. You’ll now have 6 CH-5 loops behind the first petals.

  4. SL ST to the first SC to close.


🌷 Round 5 – Second Layer of Petals

  1. SL ST into the first CH-5 loop.

  2. In each CH-5 loop, work:
    πŸ‘‰ (SC, HDC, 5 DC, HDC, SC).

  3. Repeat for all 6 loops.

  4. SL ST to finish.

🌟 You now have a beautiful double-layered flower!


Optional: Round 6 – Picot Edging for Elegance

  1. CH 1, SC in the same stitch.

  2. CH 3, SL ST in the first CH (makes a picot), SC in next 2 stitches — repeat all around the edge.

  3. SL ST to join and fasten off.



🧡 Finishing Touches

  • Use the tapestry needle to weave in all yarn ends neatly.

  • Block your doily by pinning it flat and lightly spraying with water or starch to hold shape.


πŸ’‘ Tips for Beginners

  • Practice the magic ring separately if you're new to it — or use a CH-4 ring instead.

  • Keep your tension even to make all petals uniform.

  • Use contrasting colors for the flower center and petals for a more vivid effect.


πŸ“Ž Ideas for Use

  • Coasters or small table dΓ©cor

  • Sew onto pillow covers or blankets

  • Use as embellishments on bags or clothing

  • Frame as wall art!
