EARS DOILY
This doily incorporates three classic motifs in crochet,
wheat , corn and scarabs. If you crochet it with a thicker thread,
like #10, it will be a nearly "regular-size" doily.
The light "ruffled effect" at the end is wanted, but if you prefer perfectly
flat doilies, you can substitute 5 ch arcs, from row 10 on , with 4 ch.
The structure is a little bit elaborate, but the stitches are all very
simple...so do not be discouraged with instructions :)
Size : 25 cm (10 inches) diameter
Material : Pearl cotton # 8, hook 1.1 mm (US steel #10); you can substitute with Cebelia #20 or equivalent cordonnet thread (but the gauge can slightly vary)
Stitches : ch, sl st, sc, dc, tr, dtr (double triple), picot = 3 ch, sl st in first ch.
