This pattern is a reconstruction I made from a picture I found on the internet at http://com1.med.usf.edu/~esnella/doily.htm
I have varied slightly from the original decreases used, and added an extra round (round 34).
Abbreviations:
k = knit
p = purl
yo = yarn over
sl = slip
psso = pass slipped stitch over
tog = together
()x = knit text in brackets as many times as indicated after the "x"
*-* = repeat enclosed instructions till end of round.
All even rows, (except where otherwise indicated), are knit plain.
Cast on 8 stitches and distribute evenly on stocking/double pointed needles.
Continue knitting by following the written instructions or by following the chart below.

Read all rows from right to left. Ignore empty spaces. Chart shows 1 pattern repeat, knit 8 times pr round. All even rows, (except where otherwise indicated), are knit plain.

Knit 1 more stitch onto right hand needle, and crochet loops. Where terms differ UK/US
*Insert hook into the back of the next 3 stitches on left-hand needle, and work 1 double/single crochet through these sttiches to bring them together, slip stitches off left-hand needle, chain 7* repeat till end of round, ending with a slip stitch in the first double/single crochet.
Weave in ends. Dampen work (wash if needed), and stretch/block work by pinning out to full capacity in a circle.
