All over the net at the moment is a doily like this one. I decided to create MY OWN VERSION.
I DID NOT .......... I REPEAT ........... I DID NOT, COPY THE FRACTAL DOILY PATTERN ON RAVELRY!!
Measures 23" X 13" at the widest points, approx. (Straight across, not on the slant)
I used a 2mm steel hook and DMC Tradition Plus thread in White (NEARLY ALL of a 100g ball)
Stitches Used:
Ch Chain
Dc Double Crochet
Sl St Slip Stitch
Ch 12 & sl st into beginning ch to form a ring. Make sure the ch aren't twisted.
Ch 3, dc 34 in ring & sl st into top of beginning ch 3.
Ch 4, (dc, in next st, ch 1) around, sl st to 3rd ch.
Ch 5, (dc, in next st, ch 2) around, sl st to 3rd ch .
Ch 5, (dc, in next st, ch 2) around, sl st to 3rd ch.
Ch 6, (dc, in next st, ch 3) around, sl st to 3rd ch.
Ch 5, (dc, in next st, ch 2) around, sl st to 3rd ch.
Ch3, dc in same st, ch 2, (2 dc in next st, ch 2) around, sl st to top of ch 3.
Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next st, ch 2, (2 dc in next st, dc in next st, ch 2) around, sl st to top of ch 3.

Sl st in first four sts and in first ch 2 sp, Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next 3 sts, ch 2, (2 dc in next st, dc in next 3 sts, ch 2) repeat 15 times. Turn.
Ch 3, dc in next 3 sts, ch 2, (dc 5, ch 2) around. Ch 1, turn.
Sl st in first five sts and in first ch 2 sp, Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next 4 sts, ch 2, (2 dc in next st, dc in next 4 sts, ch 2) repeat 14 times. Turn.
Ch 3, dc in next 3 sts, ch 2, (dc 6, ch 2) around. Ch 1, turn.
Continue in pattern, working 1 less section & 1 less repeat each time, until you have 1 section remaining. Work this section & Fasten Off.
