AboutMarla Expertise I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in hairpin lace, or the afghan stitch. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
Experience I have been a crocheter for almost 30 years.
Question QUESTION: Making a doily from old Magic Crochet mag.cannot tell you the year since I made a photo copy of pattern. Pattern name is ROSE FILET DOILY.Row 5: dc in 4th ch from hook and in next 8 ch(this I got)then it proceeds with 3 bl: ch2 sk 2.dc in next ch. On the pattern it shows this as a 3 sided space.I am having a hard time figuring out how to do 3 bl's and get on track. This is used 5 other times in pattern.
Hope you can help.
Thanks
ANSWER: Hi Deb!
I do have a lot of old Magic crochet magazines. Hopefully I have your magazine, too. I'll go through them to try and find the pattern, and get back to you.

QUESTION: I forgot,at the end of last row ch 17,turn. The picture for this doily was on page9.The instructions on pages 17&18.
Answer Hi Deb!
I didn't find that issue, but I think I found it on a website that has filet patterns, I went to star-dot.com. and found a rose filet doily. Is that the doily you are asking about? Do you mean the ending of the row where you have to add the blocks on? I am sorry to be confused. I wish I had that issue. The pattern looks very familiar like I have seen it before. Thanks for being patient. Hope to hear form you soon.
