This lacy design is fairly quick to make. The part that seems to take the longest to complete is the last row. I did have to rip out a few rows, a few times to get this to lay flat. I hope you like the results. This doily would look great stretched in a wire hoop and hung in a window as a suncatcher in the winter.
