Here are the instructions. Round 1 Chain 8, then join the last chain to the first with a slip stitch to make a ring. This ring will be bigger than the one you'd make for a square, but you're going to be putting more stitches in it, and you need that space to accommodate those extra stitches. Chain 4 more stitches (to count as 1 double crochet and 1 chain). Make 3 double crochets in the ring, then chain 1. Make 2 double crochets in the ring right next to the "chain 5" loop. You've now finished round 1. Round 2 Chain 5 (to count as 2 double crochets and 2 chains). Make 3 double crochets and a chain in the space from the round below (right under where you just made the "chain 5"). Make 3 double crochets and a chain in the next space. In the next space make another corner.
In the space after that make 3 doubles and a chain. Crochet Pattern Instant Download Crochet Owl by natalya1905. Hipster Doily. Doilies aren’t just for grannies anymore!
