Some have Christmas in July sales or have snowduring the month of July, so what better than asnowflake doily.

This doily is a fairly simple design and requirestwo shuttles. The second shuttle is so that youcan throw a ring off of a chain.

Abreviations:
R=ring
LR=large ring
"-"=picot
"+"=join
cl r=close ring
rw=reverse work



Row#1
Start at the point where is says "start here".
Making a cloverleaf with shuttle #1
*R: 3-3-3-3-3-3, cl r
LR: 3-5-3-3-5-3, cl r
R: 3-3-3-3-3-3, cl r, rw
Make a chain using shuttle #2 for ball thread:
CH: 3-3-3-3-3-3, do not rw
Using sh #2:
R: 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3, cl r
R: 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3, cl r
CH: 3-3-3-3-3-3, rw
Making another cloverleaf with sh#1
R: 3-3-3-3+(to 2nd p of 3rd r in prev cloverleaf)3-3, cl r
LR: 3+(to last p of prev r)5+(to 4th p of adj LR of prev cloverleaf)3-3-5-3, cl r
R: 3+(to last p of prev r)3-3-3-3-3, cl r, rw*
Repeat from *-* until you have a total of 6 cloverleafs and chains with rings on them.
Tie and work in ends.



Row#2
Start at a single ring where is says "start here".
*R: 3-3-3-3+(to 6th p of adj r of row#1)3-3-3-3, cl r, rw
Make a chain using sh#2 for ball thread:
CH: 3-3-3-3-3, do not rw
Using sh#2 make a cloverleaf:
R: 3+(to last p of prev chain)3-3-3-3-3, cl r
LR: 3+(to last p of prev r)3-3-3-3-3-3-3, cl r
R: 3+(to last p of prev r)3-3-3-3-3, cl r
CH: 3+(to last p of prev r)3-3-3-3, rw
R: 3-3+(to 6th p of first r made of this row)3-3+(to 2nd p of next adj r of row#1)3-3-3-3, cl r, rw
CH: 3-3-3-3(josephine picot of ten half hitches)3-3-3-3, rw
R: 3-3-3-3+(skip 1 p and join to next on same adj r on row#1)3-3-3-3, cl r
R: 3+(to last p of prev r)3-3-3+(to middle p of next set of two rings on row#1)3-3-3-3, cl r, rw
CH: 3-3-3-3(josephine picot of ten half hitches)3-3-3-3, rw*
