Round-by-Round Instructions

Round 1: Magic Ring + Foundation

1. Start with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a loop).

2. Ch 3 (counts as first dc), then make 11 dc into the ring—12 dc total.

3. Tighten the ring and sl st into the top of the initial ch‑3 to join the round.

Round 2: Increasing

1. Ch 3 (counts as first dc).

2. 2 dc in each stitch around (24 dc total).

3. Sl st to join to the top of the beginning ch‑3.

Round 3: Alternating Increases

1. Ch 3 (counts as first dc).

2. In the next stitch: 1 dc, then 2 dc in the following stitch—repeat this pattern around to evenly distribute increases (total around 36 dc).

3. Join with sl st to the initial ch‑3.

Round 4: Adding Chain Spaces

1. Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch‑1).

2. Dc in next stitch, ch 1—repeat across to create alternating dc and ch spaces.

3. Sl st into the 3rd chain of the starting ch‑4 to close.

Round 5: Work into Chain Spaces

1. Ch 3 (counts as first dc).

2. Into each ch‑1 space from previous round, work 1 dc; likewise, work dc into each dc from last round.

3. Continue around—this maintains stitch count and expands the doily.

4. Finish with sl st to top of starting ch‑3.
