Small Pink Doily, My Free Pattern

I’m trying my hand at designing doilies again. After all, that's my biggest crochet passion, which started this blog. 

Here is what I came up with!

This doily measures 7 inches (almost 18 cm) in diameter. I used pink crochet cotton thread size 10, and steel hook size 4 (1.25 mm).

I didn’t have anyone to test the pattern, so if you see any mistakes or something doesn’t make sense, please let me know. Thank you.
