Grape Doily

MATERIALS:
You can use any colors you wish. The grapes use about 500 yards of crochet cotton#10. The white is about 200 yards and the green about 400 yards. I used a Steel Crochet Hook No. 7. The doily measures 14 inches in diameter.

Note: I changed the grape instructions from dc's to trc's. Your grapes will come out much better.

Make a bunch of grapes the same way over each group of sps.
