Will You Look at the Time

I love knitting doilies! Small, intricate pieces that I have no use for in the general way. (The boxful of them in my closet proves that.) When a friend said she was looking for a doily to use as a clock face, I was intrigued and had to play with the shaping of a doily to make one of my own. 

Size:   10 inch doily = 76 Rnds, in laceweight yarn.

Yarn:   Golo 100% Mercerized Cotton size 20

Needles:  US 00 (1.75 mm) dpns or circular needles, or size needed to obtain gauge, for your preferred method of knitting in the Rnd. (Lace weight version)

Notions: Crochet hook in the same size as your knitting needles for cast on and optional crochet bind off, stitch marker(s).

Optional: 12 inch clock base and spray glue.

Gauge: 61 sts and 44 rows = 4 inches (10cm) in St st

   Notes

•   Worked from the center out

•   Crochet chain bind off or a simple lace bind off can be used.

•   Gauge is not critical to these pieces; however, knitters gauge and choice of materials will impact finished sizes and yarn needed.
