Click on link below and find the pattern called “Ivory Octagonal Doily” (about three quarters down the page): http://www.nordicneedle.net/swag/ Some fabric/thread suggestions: Hardanger 22 count or Lugana 25 count fabric with #5 Pearl Cotton (kloster blocks, blanket stitches, satin stitches) and #8 Pearl Cotton (cable stitch, eyelets, woven bars, picots, doves eyes). In place of the #5 Pearl Cotton you can use Caron Watercolours or Valdani #5 Pearl Cotton (note: these are a little more difficult to work with. If you’re a beginner I would suggest staying with the DMC pearl cotton). Suggested amount of thread: DMC #5 pearl cotton 1-2 skeins or Watercolours – 2-3 skeins. #8 pearl cotton – 1 ball. If using Valdani #5 – 2 balls. If you are choosing another fabric count and have questions, please feel free to leave a message and I’ll do my best to answer. Needle suggestions: If using 22 count Hardanger or 25 count Lugana with #5 Pearl Cotton (or equivalent), use a size 22 tapestry needle. When using the #8 Pearl Cotton, use a size 24 tapestry needle.
