Tiny Doily - another new ornament

A few years ago, while browsing online, I came across a net doily, 25 cm in diameter, made of Diamond Netting. I am still learning about this type of netting, so I decided to see if I could figure out the instructions to create it. I created a pattern for that doily.  My pattern contained instructions for two sizes: a 10 inch doily and a 5 inch doily.

Recently I began making tiny doilies to fit into acrylic ornaments. I experimented and created a tiny one of this pattern.

And it fit on the first try!

Here are my instructions.
