Cobblestone Doily
Design by Joyce Geisler
PATTERN NOTES
Weave in loose ends as work progresses.
Chain-3 at beginning of row counts as first double crochet unless otherwise stated.
Join with slip stitch to top of beginning chain-3 unless otherwise stated.
Center stitch is the middle double crochet of the next 3-double crochet group.
When joining square motifs, the first motif can be joined to any corner on center motif, squares 2–6 will each begin in the same corner front post treble that the last front post treble join was made in.
The squares will look like rectangles when they are blocked.
The triangles will be slightly rounded on the end.
Make motifs in the order as given, as they will be joined as you go on the last round.
SPECIAL STITCH
Front post treble join (fptr
join): Yo twice, draw up a lp around indicated st (4 lps on
hook), [yo pull through 2 lps] twice, (2 lps on hook), insert hook in indicated st on previous motif, yo, pull through all lps on hook (motifs joined).

FINISHING
Piece will be very wavy but when blocked, it will lay flat. Stretch and pin out tightly, then spray with heavy spray starch. Touch over it lightly with an iron on the cotton setting. Let sit a bit then unpin and let dry completely.
