​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.

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.
