Free Doily of Leaves Crochet Pattern.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: Intermediate
MATERIALS: DMC Brilliant Crochet Cotton (50 gm), 3 balls. Crochet hook size 7 U.S. (size 1.5 continental) (size 3 U.K.).
MEASUREMENTS: 18 in. (45 cm) in diameter..
STITCHES USED: Chain st (ch). Slip st (sl st) Single crochet (sc). Dou ble crochet (dc). Treble crochet (tr.)
Cluster: 3 tr joined tog worked across 3 sts. Puff st: 3 tr joined tog in same space. Picot: Ch 3, 1 si st in first ch..
NOTE: Always start with ch 1 instead of first sc, ch 3 instead of first do or ch 4 instead of first tr of rnd. End with 1 si st in first (sc), third (do) or fourth (tr) ch al beg of rnd.

Rnd 12: *Sc in next do, ch 5, skip 3 dc*, rep from * to * 50 times, sc in next dc, ch 2, dc in first sc (counts as first loop of 5 ch in next rnd) (52 loops).
Rnd 13: *Sc in center ch of loop, ch 5*, rep from *to * 50 times, sc in center ch of next loop, ch 2, dc in first sc (52 loops).
Rnd 14: **Sc in center ch of loop, 12 tr in next loop, *sc in center ch of next loop, ch 5*, rep from * to * once, rep from ** to ** around, end with ch 2, dc in first sc instead of last 5 ch.
Rnd 15: *Sc in center ch of loop, ch 3, 4 clusters separated by 5 ch in next 12 tr, ch 3, sc in center ch of next loop, ch 5*, rep from * to * around, end with ch 2. de in first sc instead of last 5 ch.
Rnd 16: ** (Puff st, oh 5, puff st) in center ch of loop, * ch 7, sc in center ch in next loop of 5 ch*, rep from *to * twice, ch 7**, rep from ** to ** around, end with ch 3, tr in top of first puff st instead of last 7 ch.
Rnd 17: *Sc in center ch of loop, ch 7*, rep from * to * around, end with ch 3, tr in first sc instead of last loop of 7 ch (65 loops).
Rnd 18: (2 dc, ch 2) in center ch of each loop around.
Rnd 19: ** *Dc in next 3 dc, dc in each of next 2 ch*, rep from * to * 11 times, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, dc in next dc, dc in each of next 2 ch**, rep from ** to ** around (330 dc).
Rnd 20: * (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in dc, ch 13, skip 14 dc *, rep from * to * around.
Rnd 21: * Dc in next 2 de, (2 dc, ch 1,2 dc) in space, dc in next 2 dc, ch 11*, rep from * to * around.
Rnd 22: With 1 sl st get to second dc, * dc in second dc, dc in next 2 dc, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in space, dc in next 3 dc, ch 10, skip 2 dc *, rep from * to * around.
Rnd 23: With 1 sl st get to second dc, * dc in second dc, dc in next 3 dc, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in space, dc in next 4 dc, ch9, skip 2 dc *, rep from * to * around.
