Crochet Doily with Three Leaves Design

As I have written in my previous post, this is the doily in which the same design of three leaves, I have tried in round. It really looks beautiful. I also wanted to make one change in this doily design which I felt actually after I finished the doily. That change is that instead of making only chains in between leaves, I should have make mesh design or windows design. But then I didn't dare to undo all that. So I am OK with this. I used 4 ply yarn in three colours and 3.5 mm crochet hook. It's diameter is 23" and weight Pattern: The puff stitch part is made in light shed which we call Badami (like almond). B stands for Badami, W for white and G for Green. With B colour, make a ring of ch 6. Ring of ch6 R1: ch3, (puff 1, ch2) rep, cl

First puff: ch3, (YO insert in ring, YO get 2 long sts) 5 times, there are 11 sts on hook, YO pass through all of them. Other puffs: same as above except initial ch3. R2: In each ch2 gap work (puff1, ch2, puff1) separated by ch2, cl.

R3: [puff on the puff of previous round, ch2, (puff1, ch2, puff1) in ch2-sp, ch2] rep, cl.

R4: [puff in the first ch2-sp, ch1, (puff, ch2, puff) in nexh ch2-sp, ch1, puff in next gap, ch4] rep, cl.

R5: [puff1, ch1, puff1, ch1, puff 1, ch7] 6 times, cl.

R6: [puff in the gap, ch1, puff in next gap, make sc1 on ch7 of round 5 and ch4 of round 4 combine, ch 7] 6 times, cl Six petals made.

R7: Join white yarn at the second round. (Ch3, sc 1) on the st going up around the petal, then on the top of the petal make sc 4 in ch2-sp, sc 1 in next sp, (ch3, sc 1) going down the petal, Repeat this for all 6 petals.

R8: Continue with petal colour again.[sc 7 on ch7-sp, ch5, sc7 on next ch7-sp, ch5] 6 times, cl.

R9: Join green yarn, [(dc3, ch3, dc3) in ch5-sp, ch7, dc3 in the middle st of ch5- sp, ch7] 6 times, cl.

R10: [dc1 on 3dc-st of previous round, ch4, dc 3 on previous rounds 3dc-sts, ch7, (dc 2, ch2) on each of the 3 dc-st, ch7] 6 times, cl.

R11: [dc3, ch5, dc 3, ch6, {(dc2 on first dc, ch1, dc2 on second dc) first leaf started, (ch2, dc 2, ch2) middle stem, (dc2, ch1, dc 2) second leaf started] 6 times, cl.

R12: [dc3, ch6, dc3, ch5, {(dc3,ch1,dc3) first leaf, (ch2, dc2, ch2) stem, (dc3, ch1, dc3)second leaf} ch5] 6 times, cl.

R13: [ dc3, ch7, dc 3, ch4, {(dc3,ch1,dc3) first leaf, (ch2,dc2,ch2) stem, (dc3, ch1, dc3) second leaf}, ch4] 6 times, cl.

R14: [dc3, ch9, dc3, ch3, {(dc3,ch1,dc3) first leaf, (ch2, dc2 on first dc, ch1, dc 2 on second dc, ch2) second leaf started, (dc3,ch1,dc3) third leaf, ch3} 6 times, cl.

R15: [dc3, ch10, dc 3, ch3, {(2dctog, dc1, ch1, dc1, 2dctog) first leaf, ch2, (dc3,ch1,dc3) second leaf, ch2, (2dctog, dc1, ch1, dc1, 2dctog) third leaf, ch3] 6 times, cl.

R16: [dc3, ch11, dc 3, ch3, {(2dctog,ch1,2dctog) first leaf, ch2, (dc3,ch1,dc3) second leaf, ch2, (2dctog, ch1, 2dctog) third leaf}, ch3] 6 times, cl.

R17: [dc3, ch15, dc 3, ch3, {(skipping middle ch1, 2dctog) first leaf complete, ch2, (dc3,ch1,dc3) second leaf, ch2, (skipping ch1, 2dctog) third leaf complete}, ch3] 6 times, cl.

R18:[dc3, ch21, dc 3, ch7, {(2dctog) dc1, ch1, dc1, 2dctog) second leaf}, ch7] 6 times, cl.

R19:[dc3, ch27, dc 3, ch9, {2dctog, ch1, 2dctog} second leaf, ch9] 6 times, cl. R20:[ dc 3, ch 27, dc3, ch11, {skipping ch1, 2dctog} second leaf complete, ch11] 6 times. BO green yarn.

R21: With white yarn make dc 1 in each ch and on each dc-st, cl.

R22:With puff flower colour, puff1 in same st, (ch1, skip 1 st, puff 1 in next st) 4 times, turn, sl st in next gap, puff 1 in each gap separated by ch1, (3puffs made), turn, sl st in gap, ( puff1, ch1) 2 times, BO.

This make puffs 4,3 and 2. R23: Join white yarn at the first puff made, ch3, sc 1 in between 2 puffs till top on top make ch4 instead of 3 and repeat around each petal shape.
