Here is a much step-by-step tutorial for the exact crochet doily motif in your picture.
I will explain every stitch, where to insert the hook, and how many stitches per round.
If you want, I can also draw you a chart diagram.
๐ผ Very Detailed Crochet Doily Motif Tutorial (English)
Thread: Fine cotton
Hook: 1.25โ1.75 mm

โญ Round 1 โ Make the center
- Chain 6.
- Join the first chain with a slip stitch โ you have a little ring.
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
- Work 17 more double crochets into the ring.
- Insert the hook into the center hole each time.
- Total stitches = 18 DC.
- Join with slip stitch to top of chain 3.
โ Center circle is complete.
โญ Round 2 โ Make 18 loops around
- Chain 1.
- In the next stitch:
- 1 single crochet (SC)
- Chain 3
- Repeat the same in every stitch:
โ (1 SC in next stitch, chain 3) ร 18 times. - Slip stitch to the first SC to close.
โ You now have 18 chain-3 loops all around.

โญ Round 3 โ Start making the inner flower shape
You will work inside each chain-3 loop, not into stitches.
In each loop:
- 1 SC
- Chain 5
- 1 SC
Do this in all 18 loops.
โ Now you have 18 long loops (chain-5 loops).
โญ Round 4 โ Fill each chain-5 loop to make petals
In each loop, work these stitches in order:
- 1 single crochet (SC)
- 1 half double crochet (HDC)
- 3 double crochet (DC, DC, DC)
- 1 half double crochet (HDC)
- 1 single crochet (SC)
Repeat in all 18 loops.
โ You now have 18 complete petals.

โญ Round 5 โ Mesh round (spacing for next fan layer)
- Chain 5
- counts as (1 DC + chain 2)
- Skip 3 stitches,
DC in the next stitch, chain 2 - Repeat all the way around:
โ (Skip 3 stitches, DC, chain 2) - Join with slip stitch to 3rd chain of beginning chain-5.
โ You now have evenly spaced DC + chain-2 gaps.
โญ Round 6 โ Build base for the outer fans
In every chain-2 space, work:
- 1 single crochet
- Chain 5
- 1 single crochet
Repeat this around.
โ Now you have 18 outer loops ready for the large fans.

โญ Round 7 โ Crochet the large fans
In each chain-5 loop:
- 1 SC
- 1 HDC
- 5 DC (this creates the large rounded shape)
- 1 HDC
- 1 SC
Repeat in every loop.
โ Now you have large fan shapes forming the outer circle.
โญ Round 8 โ Picot edging (decorative border)
On top of each fan:
- Single crochet
- Chain 3
- Slip stitch into the first chain โ makes a picot
- Single crochet in the next stitch
Repeat evenly around the doily.
โ This creates the little pointed edging you see in the photo.
๐ Finished!
Your doily motif should match the photo.
