Clark's O.N.T. or J. & P. Coats Best Six Cord Mercerized Crochet, Size 60:
Small Ball:
Completed doily measures about 10½ x 13½ inches across center. Center of doily is made of 3 individual
motifs joined while working.
FIRST MOTIF … Starting at center, ch 10, join with sl st. 1st rnd: Ch 6, 19 d tr in ring, with ch-1 between.
Join to 5th st of ch-6. 2nd rnd: * S c in next sp, ch 5. Repeat from * around, ending with sl st in 1st s c made
(20 loops). 3rd rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, s c in same loop, * ch 5, s c in next loop. Repeat from *
around. Fasten off.
SECOND MOTIF … Work 1st 2 rnds as for 1st motif. 3rd rnd: Sl st to center of next loop, s c in same
loop, ch 5, s c in next loop, ch 2, tr in a loop of 1st motif, ch 2, s c in next loop on 2nd motif, * ch 2, s c in
next loop on 1st motif, ch 2, s c in next loop on 2nd motif. Repeat from * 3 more times, ch 2, tr in next loop
on 1st motif, ch 2, s c back in next loop on 2nd motif and complete rnd as for 1st motif.
THIRD MOTIF… Join to 2nd motif on 3rd rnd, leaving 4 loops free between joinings on each side of 2nd
motif. Join; do not break off, but sl st to top of next loop and work around all 3 motifs as follows:
1st rnd: S c in same loop, * ch 5, tr in tr-sp at next joining, ch 5, tr in same sp; (ch 5, s c in next free ch-5
loop) 4 times. Repeat from * once more; make 10 more ch-5 loops, ch 5, tr in next tr-sp, and continue thus
around, working other half to correspond and ending rnd with sl st in 1st s c made. 2nd rnd: Sl st in each of
1st 2 ch of next loop (before tr), s c in loop, * ch 5, s c in next loop. Repeat from * around; join. 3rd rnd: Sl
st in next 2 ch, s c in loop, ch 10 (to count as d tr and ch-5), * d tr in next loop, ch 5. Repeat from * around.
Join to 5th ch of ch-10. 4th rnd: S c in next sp, ch 6 (to count as d c and ch-3), d c, ch 3 and d c in same sp;
in each of next 9 sps make 3 d c with ch-3 between. In each of following 9 sps (at curve) make d c, ch 3, tr,
ch 3, tr, ch 3 and d c. In each of next 13 sps make 3 d c with ch-3 between. In each of next 9 sps (at curve)
make d c, ch 3, tr, ch 3, tr, ch 3 and d c. In each of remaining 3 sps make 3 d c with ch-3 between. Join to 3rd
st of ch-6 first made. 5th rnd: * S c in next sp, ch 3, s c in following sp, skip 2 d c; in next sp make s c, ch 3,
2 tr, ch 3 and s c (a petal); ch 3, 2 tr in next d c, ch 3; in next sp make s c, ch 3, 2 tr, ch 3 and s c; skip 2 d c.
Repeat from * 4 more times. ** Ch 3, s c in next ch-3 sp, s c in following sp (between tr's) and complete 3
petals in this sp, s c in next sp. Repeat from ** 8 more times, ch 3, skip 2 d c. *** S c in next sp and
complete a petal, ch 3, 2 tr in next d c, ch 3, s c in next sp and complete a petal; skip 2 d c, s c in next sp, ch
3, s c in next sp, skip 2 d c. Repeat from *** 5 more times, s c in next sp and complete a petal, ch 3, 2 tr in d
c, ch 3, s c in next sp and complete a petal; ch 3, skip 2 d c, s c in next sp, s c in following sp (between tr's)
and complete 3 petals; continue thus around, working remainder of rnd to correspond. 6th rnd: Sl st to
center of next petal, s c between 2 tr's, ch 10, * d tr between 2 tr's of next petal, ch 5, d tr between tr's of next
petal, d tr between tr's of next petal, ch 5. Repeat from * around, ending with d tr in last petal, sl st in 5th st
of ch-10 first made. 7th rnd: * In next sp make s c, ch 5, and s c; ch 5; in next sp make s c, ch 5 and s c; skip
2 d tr. Repeat from * around. 8th rnd: Sl st to tip of next loop, s c in loop, * ch 5, s c in next loop. Repeat
from * around. 9th rnd: Sl st to tip of next loop, s c in loop, * ch 3, s c in next loop. Repeat from * around,
ending with sl st in 1st s c made. 10th rnd: S c in sp, ch 8, skip 1 sp; make d tr, ch 5 and d tr in next sp, ch 8,
skip the ch-3 of next sp, s c in the s c of same sp (between 2 sps). * Ch 8, skip next sp; make d tr, ch 5 and d
tr in next sp, ch 8, skip 1 sp, s c in next sp. Repeat from * twice more. ** Ch 8, skip next sp; in next sp make
d tr, ch 5 and d tr; ch 8, skip the ch-3 of next sp, s c in the s c of same sp. Repeat from ** 6 more times. ***
Ch 8, skip next sp; in next sp make d tr, ch 5 and d tr; ch 8, skip 1 sp, s c in next sp. Repeat from *** 2 more
times. Repeat from the beginning of the rnd once more, omitting the 1st s c in sp, and ending with sl st in 1st
s c made. 11th, 12th and 13th rnds: Sl st to center of next ch, s c in sp, ch 10, * in next sp make d tr, ch 5
and d tr; ch 5, d tr in each of next 2 sps, ch 5. Repeat from * around, ending with d tr, sl st in 5th st of ch-10
first made. 14th rnd: Sl st to center of next ch, s c in sp, ch 10; * in next sp make 3 d tr with ch-5 between,
ch 5, d tr in each of next 2 sps, ch 5. Repeat from * around, ending with d tr, sl st in 5th st of ch-10. 15th
rnd: Sl st to center of next ch, s c in sp, ch 10, * d tr, ch 5 and d tr in next sp; ch 5; d tr, ch 5 and d tr in next
sp; ch 5, d tr in each of next 2 sps, ch 5. Repeat from * around, ending with d tr in last sp, sl st in 5th st of ch-
10 first made. 16th rnd: * 5 s c in each of next 2 sps, ch 4, s c in 4th st from hook (p); d c in next ch-5 sp; (p,
d c in same sp) 6 times; p, 5 s c in each of next 2 sps. Repeat from * around. Fasten off.
