I just loved making this over-sized doily! I took a vintage pattern from my personal library and re-worked it for ease. It works up so fast, you'll be done, lickety-split!
The re-written pattern instructions Copyright 2006 to me, Maria Merlino and is for personal use only.
Materials: 4 ply, medium weight knitting worsted, such as Red Heart Super Saver, Caron, Bernat Berella 4.
1 oz yellow
2 oz White
5 oz. Red
4 oz Green
H/5mm crochet hook
Gauge: One completed Rose = 5 inches
Abbreviations:
Ch (chain) Tr (treble) Sl st (slip stitch) Sc (single crochet) Sk (skip) Dc (double crochet) Sp (space) Rnd (round) Lp (loop)
Cluster stitch= cl: There are variations of the cluster stitch but basically it means there is more than one stitch clustered together. As an example: If you were doing a 3 double crochet cluster you would do each double crochet without completing the last step (you would have 2 loops on the hook after the first dc, 3 loops on the hook after the second dc and 4 loops on the hook when all three dcs are completed. You then yarn over and draw through all of the loops. That is what clusters together the stitch. A beginning cluster uses the beg ch-3 as a dc.
Rose:
Rnd 1: With yellow, ch 5, sl st in first ch to form a ring, ch 5 (counts as first dc and ch 2), dc in ring, * ch 2, dc in ring, repeat from * 3 times more, ch 2, sl st in third st of ch 5 first made, fasten off. (6 spaces) [Note: You can make all ten centers first. Then you can do the rose petals.]
Rnd 2: Join red with a sl st in any lp, (sc, 5 dc, sc) in same lp, * (sc, 5 dc, sc) in next lp, repeat from * 4 times, join.
Rnd 3: * Ch 5, sl st in back of work between next 2 petals, repeat from * 5 times, join. You will have 6 loops of ch-5.
Rnd 4: Over each lp work (sc, 7 dc, sc), join.
Rnd 5: * Ch 7, sl st in back of work between next 2 petals, repeat from * around. You will have 6 loops of ch-7.
Rnd 6: Over each lp work (sc, 2 dc, 5 tr, 2 dc, sc), join and fasten off.
Work 9 more roses in the same manner. Set aside. You will now make the center.
Center:
Rnd 1: With white, ch 7, join with sl st in first ch to form a ring, ch 1, work 10 sc in ring, join.
Rnd 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in same place, keeping last lp of each dc on hook, yarn over and pull through all lps at once (beg. cl made), * ch 3, make a 3 dc cluster (to make cluster st, 3 dc in each sc, keeping last lp of each dc on hook, yarn over and pull through all lps at once) in next sc, repeat from
* 8 times, ch 3, join.
Rnd 3: * Ch 4, sc in next lp, ch 4, sc in next cluster st, repeat from
* around (20 lps).
Rnd 4: Sl st into lp, * ch 4, sc in next lp, repeat from * around ending with a ch 1, dc in same sp as beginning—this brings thread in po¬sition to begin next rnd.
Rnd 5: Ch 3 (counts as first dc of cluster), cluster st in same sp, * ch 4, sc in next lp, ch 4, cluster st in next lp, repeat from * around end¬ing with ch 4, sc in next lp, ch 4, join in first cluster.
Rnd 6: Sl st into lp, * ch 5, sc in next lp, repeat from * around.
Rnd 7: Sl st into lp, ch 3, cluster st in same sp, * ch 5, 2 sc in next lp, ch 5, cluster st in next lp, repeat from * around, ending with ch 5, 2 sc in next lp, ch 5, join.
Rnd 8: Sl st into lp, ch 1, 2 sc in same sp, * ch 7, 2 sc in next lp, repeat from * around, ending with ch 3, tr in first sc.
Rnd 9: Ch 3, cluster st in same sp, ch 5, cluster st in same sp, * ch 1, 2 cluster sts with ch 5 between in next lp, repeat from* around, ch 1. Join; cut thread.
Rnd 10: Join green in the ch 1 between cluster sts, ch 4, cluster st in next ch 5 lp, ch 1, sc in center st of any petal of rose, * ch 1, cluster st in same sp on center, ch 4, sc in ch 1 between next 2 cluster sts, ch 4, cluster st in next ch 5 lp, ch 1, sc in center st of next petal of same rose, ch 1, cluster st in same sp on center, ch 4, sc in next ch 1 lp be¬tween next 2 cluster sts, ch 4, cluster st in next ch 5 lp, ch 1, join to center st of any petal of next rose, repeat from * until all roses are joined, ending to correspond, join, fasten off.
Leaf:
With green, ch 11, sc in sec¬ond st from hook, sc in each of the next 8 sts of ch, 3 sc in last st, working on other side of ch, sc in each of the next 8 sts.
Row 2: Ch 2, turn, working through back lp of sts only, sk 1 sc, sc in each of next 8 sc, 3 sc in next sc, sc in each of next 8 sc.
Row 3-7: Repeat row 2 five times.
(The next row is joining leaf to rose)
Next rnd: Ch 1, turn, join to cen¬ter st of second free petal on right hand side of any rose (to join: drop lp from hook, insert in petal, pick up lp and pull through), sk 1 sc on leaf and working through back lp of sts only, sc in each of next 9 sc, join to center st of next free petal of same rose, sc in same sp on leaf, join to center st of first free petal on left hand side of next rose, sc in same sp on leaf, sc in each of the next 8 sc, join to center st of next petal of same rose, ch 1, sc in next sc on leaf, fasten off.
Work 9 more leaves joining between roses in same manner.
