Mint Pineapples Doily, Free Vintage Doily Pattern




I used 1.25 mm steel hook and Aunt Lydia's crochet thread size 10. 

My doily came out 16 inches across. When I was making it, after the 11th round it began to ruffle quite a bit. But once I finished the doily and blocked it, it turned out perfectly flat and beautiful. 

The vintage pattern is from Hand Crochet by Roayl Society, Crisp New Doilies Book No 9, 1948.

1st rnd: Ch 3, 23 dc in ring. Join with sl st to 3rd st of ch-3.

  6. In round 22 what does the "R" mean where it says "(make R 3-tr cluster in next dc)?

    1. You make chain 5, then in space between the next two petals you make dc, chain 3, and dc.

      Hope this helps
