Pattern Corrections & Tips
- Correction: Note that each beginning ch-3 or ch-6 counts as the first dc.
- Tip 1: Use blocking to shape and open up the lace to its full beauty.
- Tip 2: If using thicker thread or a different hook, adjust your tension and expect a larger finished doily.
- Tip 3: Place stitch markers at round joins if you struggle with keeping track of your beginning.
