Tiny Candle

I don't know if it was the yellow color, the shape of the increase stitches, or both that made me think of candles when I finished making this tiny doily. Using the small mesh sticks, it is about 2.75 inches.


































Here are the instructions:

Remember to tie a connecting knot (CK) at the end of each round to form the last loop of that round.

Regular Center

Round 1

                mesh stick: 1/4” flat

Form a grommet with 25 loops, the last one tied by hand with a connecting knot (CK). (25 loops in the round)

Rounds 2-4

                mesh stick: #1 knitting needle

Net 1 knot in each loop. (25 loops in each round)

Skirt Increase Stitch

Round 5

                mesh stick: 1/4” flat

Net 1 more knot in the loop formed by the CK, net 2 knots in all other loops. (50 loops in the round)

Rounds 6-8

                mesh stick: #1 knitting needle

Net 1 knot in each loop. (50 loops in each round)
