​Summer Colors Doily

You’ll need:

100g of carrot, light-green and crimson colors yarn (each) (100% mercerized cotton; 250m/100g);

Crochet hook 4;

Marker.

Diameter: 30 cm.

Note: work in 2 threads of yarn.

Instructions

Take the threads of 3 colors yarn together and make magic ring, make 8 single crochets in it with carrot yarn. Tighten the ring, connect the first crochet with the last crochet with slip st. After that, crochet across, don’t circle the rows. Continue work with carrot yarn.

1^st row: 2 single crochets above every single crochet (16 sts);

2^nd row: 2 single crochets in every crochet (24 sts).

Double every 3^rd and 4^th crochets – 8 crochets are increased in every row. Starting from the 3^rd row, divide your work to 8 sectors and join crimson yarn. Make every sector of 4 single crochets, don’t forget to make increases = there are 32 single crochets in the 3^rd rows. When there are 11 crochets in every sector, join light-green yarn, starting from 2 single crochets in the middle of each sector (5 carrot (crimson) crochets, 2 light-green crochets, 5 carrot (crimson) crochets).

Continue work, alternating 3 colors of yarn due to the scheme until you get the needed diameter.
