Crochet with me.... A Autumn Doily Starting with the Flower



Ok here is the deal, I'm going to try to make this Doily and tell you how to.. Not to sure if I can accomplish it. But I'm going to give it a whirl .. I can't read Directions very well and I'm not sure I can tell them either so bare with me.. 
I have listed the colors that I want you can choose whatever colors you wish..



Needed:
One size 7 or 1.5 steel crocheting needle
One Classic size 10 thread, Aunt Lydia's Golden Yellow
One Classic size 10 thread, Aunt Lydia's Pumpkin
And if wanted to do the last pedal like a green leaf
One Classic size 10 thread, Aunt Lydia's Green

Flower:
Start:  Attach thread to needle making your knot.  Chain 6, Sl St  into first chain to form a circle.
2nd:  Chain up 5, Dc into circle. then continue Dc, chain two for 7
times...forming the wheel. Total of 8 Dc.

( Making the first row of pedals )

 Pedals:
3rd:  To start pedals, Sl St  into the first loop. Sc, then four Dc, and Sc.. repeating 7 more times, to form 8 pedals in all
         At the last Sc, Sl St it into the back side of the pedal so we can form loops for next pedals. 

( Completed first set of pedals )

Loops:
4th:   After you have Sl St it into the back Chain 6, Sl St into each corner backside of pedals forming a loop.. Right to Left.

( Connecting the loops )

( making the second set Of loops )


I hope that you can see the loop... ( You basically start on one side of the pedal chain 6 and connect in the other end of the pedal ) repeat 7 times so your ending with 8 loops...

Second Row of Pedals:
5th Row:  Sl St into the first loop, Sc, then 6 Dc, and Sc ending with 8 in all. Sl St into the next loop.. Repeat in the next 7 loops.





Next set Of Loops:
Repeat steps above for loops.
6th: After you have Sl St it into the back Chain 6, Sl St into each corner backside of pedals forming a loop.. Right to Left.


( This shows you the loops and the third pedals )


Last Row of Pedals;
7th: Here is where you can put the Green to make it look like leaves,
I left mine the same color your choice..
Sl St into your loop, Sc then Dc, 8 times, ending Sc..ending with 10 in all.  Repeat in each loop total of 7 times..Total of 8 pedals you should have.
connect and tie off.. knot..


 ( All three rows completed )

Flower is complete.

If you have mannaged to understand this and make the flower then I will continue further Please let me know..

Wishing you a great day...
with love Janice
