Knitted Lace Doily from 1940's Coats Patons Crochet Doily Leaflet

Look up this pattern on

Addendum June 19th 2006: This pattern has now been corrected, updated, test-knit and charted! Please let me know if I have made any typos in the written directions.

Another addendum September 29th 2006: There was a typo in round 131, although the chart was correct. I have added the missing yo in red so anyone who has alreeady printed the pattern can pencil it in.

If you want to make this doily as a shawl you will need approximately 2000m (2200 yards) of lace weight yarn and 3.25mm needles. The finished shawl will measure approximately 5-6ft in diameter depending on the fibre content of the yarn used and the amount of force put into blocking.

From the instructions given below it is possible to make the following:
6 x 6 inch glass mat
9 x 9 inch doily
13 x 13 inch place mat
18 x 18 and 22 x 22 inch centres
and a supper cloth measuring 36 x 36 inches if using the size 60 mercerized cotton and size 1mm needles stated in the pattern

Materials Required:
Semco Fairy Knitting Cotton, White or Linen shade. (Mercerised cotton #60)
Set of 5 Semco Fairy knitting needles (1mm double pointed needles)
Semco Steel Crochet Hook 7 or 8 (0.75mm or 0.6mm)

Helpful Hints:
If a mistake is made repair immediately, control your work when knitting the plain rounds, to prevent mistakes. To make it easier to follow directions place a small safety pin where your pattern round commences and more as you work.

To prevent the needles from slipping out of the work, secure all ends (of needles) with tiny pieces of rubber: THIS IS IMPORTANT. IF A STITCH SLIPS OFF NEEDLE put work flat on your knee and with crochet hook, crochet the stitches in pattern up to the round you are working. If many stitches have slipped off, take out needles, starch and spread work carefully on towel to dry, keeping as flat as possible, then undo (counting the rounds) until you come to the place from where the stitches have commenced to run, insert needles again and proceed from directions; the stitches will not run when they are starched.
Do not knit loosely on the four corners when you change the needle or you will make holes in your work.

DIRECTIONS FOR WORKING:

Stop at end of Rounds 40, 72, 104, 144 and 170 for 6x6, 9x9, 13x13, and 22x22 inch cloths. Full instructions will make a cloth 36x36 inches in diameter.

TO COMMENCE:

With crochet hook make a ring of 8 chain. Into this work 12 d.c.
Having 1 st on hook insert into the first dc, draw working thread through this, and the stitch on the hook, leaving 1 st on hook; insert into next d.c. draw thread through, then throw around hook and draw through other st on hook, carefully remove hook from these two sts, leave the first free and  replace the other on hook: repeat until you have 12 loose loops around ring.

Then insert 4 knitting needles through the 12 sts, placing 3 sts on each needle, holding the work carefully between thumb and forefinger to prevent from slipping; ADD SMALL PIECES OF RUBBER TO ENDS OF EACH NEEDLE

Repeat each row of instructions until you reach the end of the round.
