Diamond Tiara
From Volume 11 recommends “Daisy Mercerized Crochet Cotton, Art. 65; Size 20: 4 skeins”
A doily/small table cloth in 60 Rounds.
Diamonds and Pyramid patterns
Web and Ch 5 Loops & Bars
Spiders
Edging requires turning the project to sc in chain and add picot
What makes this pattern unusual for typical EH patterns is the use of double crochet throughout rather than treble crochet.
Use page 25 to follow pattern closely, the instructions do not note the number of Ch 5 loops
Round 21 repeats Ch 5, sc 8 times
Round 22 repeats Ch 5, sc 9 times
Round 23 repeats Ch 5, sc 10 times
Round 24 repeats Ch 5, sc 11 times
This will result in the number of loops needed for Round 25.
Round 40 has 29 dc, repeated 24 times (696 total)
Round 43 is missing a Ch3
-As 42 to , ch3, sc down in lp of rnd 42 (watch picture) Ch3 dc in 4 dc, rf
Round 56 does not define “pt”
ac is Hiddleson shorthand for across
Round 59 marked as 50
Round 60 each of the 24 points of the Diamond Tiara are finished by turning work. After the word “turn”, replace the last dc with a tr for better balance:
“…turn, sl st ac last 3 dc made, and into sp, ch3 2 dc in sm pl, (ch 1, 3 dc in nx sp) twice, tr in 1st dc in prr.
prr is Hiddleson shorthand for previous round.
