Stitching Instructions for Making the Doily Plant Mat Pattern:

Round 1: Initial Ring

• Chain 4 stitches and connect with a slip stitch to create a loop.
  • Start by chaining 4 stitches.
  • Join the last chain with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first chain to create a small loop.
• Sdc, 11 dc in the ring:
  • Yarn over, insert the hook into the ring, and complete a double crochet (dc) stitch. Repeat this 11 more times, making a total of 12 double crochets (1 standing double crochet + 11 more double crochets) in the ring.
• Join with a sl st: Join the round by inserting the hook into the top of the standing double crochet and completing a slip stitch.

Round 2: Ch-1 Spaces

• Sdc to begin the round: Start with a standing double crochet again.
• Chain 1, then work (double crochet, chain 1) and repeat this pattern around.
  • Chain 1 stitch.
  • Make a double crochet (dc), then chain 1 again.
  • Repeat this sequence of (dc, ch 1) around the ring until you reach the end of the round.
• Connect with a slip stitch: Finish the round by inserting your hook into the top of the first standing double crochet and completing a slip stitch.

Round 3: Double Crochet Pairs

• Sl st into ch-1 sp: Slip stitch into the first ch-1 space.
• (sdc, ch 1, dc) in first ch-1 sp: Make a standing double crochet (sdc), chain 1, and make a double crochet (dc) in the first ch-1 space.
• (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch-1 sp:
  • In the next ch-1 space, make (dc, ch 1, dc).
  • Repeat this sequence around the entire round, working into each ch-1 space.
• Join with a sl st.

Round 4: Ch-1 and Double Crochet Pairs

• Sl st into ch-1 sp: Slip stitch into the first ch-1 space to start the round.
• (sdc, ch 1, dc) in first ch-1 sp: Repeat the standing double crochet (sdc), chain 1, and double crochet (dc) in the first ch-1 space.
• Ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch-1 sp, ch 1: Chain 1, then repeat the sequence (dc, ch 1, dc) in the next ch-1 space, followed by another chain 1.
• Repeat around the entire round, joining each space in the same pattern.
• Join with a sl st.

Round 5: Double Crochet Clusters

• Sl st to the first ch-1 space.
• (sdc, dc, ch 1, 2dc) in first ch-1 sp: Work a standing double crochet, then double crochet (dc), chain 1, and make 2 double crochets (2dc) in the first ch-1 space.
• Sk next ch-1 sp: Skip the next ch-1 space.
• (2dc, ch 1, 2dc) in ch-1 sp, sk next ch-1 sp:
  • In the next ch-1 space, make 2 double crochets, chain 1, and 2 double crochets again.
