Using Doily Pattern for Baby Blanket

[Liv]

If I am using ww and a size I hook what is the recomended size of the original finished doily? Hope I asked that in a way someone besides me can understand:lol

If this helps any, I've used a G hook and worsted weight and it turned out a little more than double the size.

I've also gone the opposite way, used a yarn (doll) pattern with thread and a 1.65mm hook and gotten something a little less than half the size of the yarn one.

So...yes, you did ask in a way someone else can understand!

(at least, I think I understood...but it is getting late for me!)

30 rounds or so will make a great sized baby blanket.

Figure out what your gauge is with the ww yarn and the sz I hook compared to the original size and do the math.

 

If you don't already know how to measure your gauge, here's some links:
