A Dolphin Idea

 I've been trying my hand at a longer term project with crochet.
 It all when I was looking for something else and saw this in an old doily magazine.
Granddaughter #3 just decorated her room with ocean blues and dolphins!
Perfect!  I can do this!
But the directions are only this and the number of chains for the beginning row in the middle of the work(do one side, then do the other!)
I remember how to read the directions but for the fancy open part in the middle so I am experimenting to get the right and repeatable numbers!
Since I am down for the count still with whatever is going on, I might as well dream!

  3. I love filet crochet and have done a lot of it. You are so good at everything you put your hand to, I'm sure this will be no different.
    Take care and I sure hope this thing, whatever it is, goes away soon.
    Blessings,

  9. Hello, I have come to your blog from Meredith's Mereknits. I love your dolphin idea. Remember that filet crochet is just basic stitches and counting carefully. Just make a start and you will work it out as you go. In which publication did you find that pattern? I'd love to track it down and have a go myself one day. Beautiful. It's an elegant filet design. Your granddaughter will love it.
