Skill level: Intermediate
For that doily you’ll need 1 ball of Meggy Metallic cotton thread, crochet hook (1.25 mm). Size of the finished doily is about 15.3 in (39 cm) after blocking.
For the better look I highly recommend to wash and block the finished doily.
The doily on photos was made with Meggy Metallic thread, you can find some colors in my store: shop.gull808.ru . Please let me know if you need any help.

Stitch guide (US terms):

ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
yo = yarn over
sc = single crochet
trtr = triple treble crochet (yo x 4)
tr = treble crochet
4hdc-cluster = [yo, insert hook in indicated st or space, yo and pull up the loop] x 4 times, yo and draw through 8 loops on hook, yo and draw through all loops on hook
hdc = half double crochet
4fphdc-cluster = [yo, insert hook from front to back to front again around indicated st, yo and pull up the loop] x 4 times, yo and draw through 8 loops on hook, yo and draw through all loops on hook
dc = double crochet
bpdc = back post double crochet
fpdc = front post double crochet
picot = ch 3, sl st in top of last created st
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or issues with these stitches. If some stitch is unclear I can make a video tutorial for you. You can also check my YouTube channel, there could be some tutorials already:

Let’s start crocheting!

0. ch 7, sl st in first ch to form a ring.

1. ch 10 (= first trtr + ch 4), [trtr in ring, ch 4] x 10 times, trtr in ring, ch 3 + sc in beginning trtr to complete the last ch-4 space. (12 trtr and 12 spaces) Please note: if you feel your process looks a bit curly, you can also try yo make 8 rapports of this pattern, instead of 12 provided below. But 12-rapport doily looks great after blocking.

2. ch 1, sc in same space, [*ch 5, sc around post of next trtr, ch 5, sc in next space,* ch 3, sc in same space] x 11 times, repeat * * once again, make ch 1 + hdc in first sc to complete the last ch-3 space. (36 sc, 24 ch-5 spaces, 12 ch-3 spaces)

3. ch 2, 4hdc-cluster in same space, [*ch 1, (tr, ch 5, tr) in ch-4 spaces of round 1 directly below (please make these stitches before the sc), ch 1,* 4hdc-cluster in next ch-3 space of round 2] x 11 times, repeat * * once again, sl st in first cluster.
