Hi friends, 

I have already made one doily with beads. Click the following link for that doily,

This red one is another with beads. It's diameter is 15.5" and weight is 75 gm including 24-25 gm weight of beads. I use Vardhaman Millenium yarn, Hook used 3.5 mm and 5 or 6 numbers beads nearly 500. Thread 480 beads in the yarn. For threading the beads, first apply some fabric fevicol to the yarn end, allow it to dry. Then the yarn will become stiff as shown in photo. So that you can easily thread the beads.

R1: dc 16 in magic loop, cl (First dc is always ch3) Make a knot but don't cut the yarn. 

Join White yarn at st. R2: (3dctog, ch2) in each st, cl.

R3: V (dc1, ch2, dc1) in each ch2-sp, cl (16 V)

R4: (dc 5 in ch2-sp of V, ch3, skip next V) rep 8 times, cl.

R5: [on 5 dcs make {(dc2), dc1, (dc2), dc1, (dc2)}, ch2] 8 times, cl. We have (8dc. ch2) 8 times.

R6: [(dc2) in first and last dc-sts and dc1 in between all dc-sts, ch2] 8 times, cl. Means (10 dc, ch2) 8 times.

R7: same as R6. Means (12 dcs, ch2) 8 times.

R8: same as R6. 

Means (14 dcs, ch2) 8 times.

R9: dc1 in 12 dc-sts, ch3, slide 4 beads near hook, fix them by one chain, skip first and last dc-sts and make dc 1 on each middle sts, 

R10: [Skip first and last st, make dcs on middle 10 sts, ch 3, block of 4 beads (means get 4 beads close to hook and ch1 to fix them) ch 3, join at the block of 4 beads made in previous round, ch3, block of 4 beads, ch3] 8 times, cl. (2 blocks of 4 beads)

R11: [Skip first and last st, make dcs on middle 8 sts, {ch 3, block of 4 beads, ch 3, join at the block of 4 beads made in previous round} 2 times, ch3, block of 4 beads, ch3] 8 times, cl. (3 blocks of 4 beads)

R12: [Skip first and last st, make dcs on middle 6 sts, {ch 3, block of 4 beads,  ch 3, join at the block of 4 beads made in previous round} 3 times, ch3, block of 4 beads, ch3] 8 times, cl. (4 blocks of 4 beads)

R13: [Skip first and last st, make dcs on middle 4 sts, {ch 3, block of 4 beads ch 3, join at the block of 4 beads made in previous rou,nd} 4 times, ch3, block of 4 beads, ch3] 8 times, cl. (5 blocks of 4 beads)
