My most delicate Gütermann sewing thread doily

[Veronika Rohrhofer]

Here is my most delicate Gütermann sewing thread doily with 53 rounds. The stitches used where only chs and dcs and ss to close the rounds. I needed very good sunlight on the beach as it was quite difficult to stitch into the dcs of the previos rounds. This pattern is not new to me, I have made a few doilies with thread size 20. This doily measures 22 cm (8,5 inch) in diameter.

I absolutely love it!  Is there a pattern somewhere accessible?

This doily is called "Pink Whirlpool Centrepiece" and the pattern was issued in Crochet Monthly #55 (1984).

Thanks.  Proving quite difficult to find that issue and CM only grants 2 prior years access when you subscribe.  I might have to wait another 18 years for it to hit public domain.

Please google for: "veronika rohrhofer doilies" and you will find photos of the "pink whirlpool cerntrepiece". At home in Vienna (will be back on May 1st, 2017) I have the #55 Crochet Monthly issue and also the German version of it "Die Masche" and on top of this I have a pdf-file of this pattern. It would be illegal pattern sharing, if I distribute this pdf-file. I am on Facebook and you could message me! Here in Australia I have two sewing thread doilies with the "pink whirlpool cerntrepiece" pattern on me and also my version of it where I go wide instead of following the swirl pattern! I can make close up photos if you wish but I don't want to post them again in Crochetville.

Thanks Veronika!  After much creative googling, I did finally find what I think is the pattern at a Russian site in Magic Crochet magazine.  It was listed as Social Swirl.  I am not certain which issue it is, but it was available online.  I am in the process of making it.

 

Hope your visit to Australia is going well.
