Rainbow Spiral Doily

There has been a lovely doily all over Pinterest, that people are in love with. I haven’t attached the picture as a really nice lady from Colorido Ecletico owns the picture, not me. Lol

As yet she hadn’t written up the pattern, so I decided to try and work out the pattern............And I did it!!  Here is my version.

 No pattern avaiable, sorry.  Please excuse the colours. I’m waiting on an Ebay order from China to arrive, which has brighter colours (I hope).  Lol.

The colours from China ended up MUCH BRIGHTER!!  PHEW!!  LOL. See for yourself, below:

Really happy with the new one.

           picot   single crochet, chain 3, slip stitch in top of single crochet, single crochet

Notes: 

1. To start the dc rows, you can ch 3 OR do a chainless starting dc. INSTRUCTIONS FOUND HERE: https://www.mooglyblog.com/chainless-starting-double-crochet/.  

2.  IF WANTING TO USE ENGLISH/AUSTRALIAN TERMS, the ONLY changes are as follows:

U.S.	ENG.  OR AUS.
sc	dc
dc	tr (treble)

3. When working on Rounds 18 and 26, the first stitch of the previous round’s 4 dc groupings may be hidden. Don’t forget this stitch.

4. Also, to stop your chains from twisting when making the first stitch after your last chain, gently pull the chain back with one of your fingers from the hand with the crochet hook. This will also stop the next stitch from being too loose & having too big a gap between the last chain and first stitch. 

NOW TO BEGIN!!

Round 1:  Ch 10, join with a slip stitch to first ch. 

Round 2:  Ch 3 (counts as the first dc). Dc 31 into the circle of chains. (With the ch 3 at start, this will make 32 dc).  Join with a slip stitch into the starting chain.  

Round 3:  Ch 5. This counts as the first dc ch2. Skip next dc of row 2. (Dc in the next dc, skip the next dc, ch 2). Repeat to the end of the round. Join.  

Round 4:  Chain 3, (dc 4 in next ch-2 space, dc in next dc, ch 2, skip next ch 2 sp). (Dc in next dc, dc 4 in the next ch-2 sp, dc in the next dc, ch-2, skip ch 2 sp). Repeat to end of round. Join.  

Round 5:   Dc inc in the join,  dc in the next 4 dc, dc inc in the next dc. Ch 2, skip the next ch-2 space. (Dc inc in next dc, dc in the next 4 dc, dc inc in the next dc, ch 2, skip the next ch-2 space.) Repeat to the end of the round. Join.
