Blooming Pineapple Doily

This pattern can be found in a couple of foreign magazines called Moje Robotki, 12/2009 issue, and Sabrina Robótki, 6/2005 issue.  I've made it twice before.  The second one I made in April of this year didn't block correctly.  I couldn't figure out why, since the one I had originally made in July 2011 blocked perfectly.  When I started this one (which was a special request), I realized double crochet stitches changed to triple crochet stitches at a certain point.  I didn't pick up on this with the 2nd doily I made, thus my problem.

This one was made with #20 thread using a #12 hook and measures 18 inches.

Thanks for stopping by, and God Bless!
