Vanora #1 by Grace Fearon

Pattern
Vanora

Yarn
DMC Cebelia Size 20 in 799 Horizon Blue
.75 skein (37 grams or 311 yards)

Hook
1.0mm

Pattern Assesment
Mystery Instructions include well-written directions including pictures of each round with a diagram overlay. Pattern provides stitch counts. Grace also offers some youtube videos on more difficult stitches. This would be an excellent pattern to try if you are new to her designs & worried about some of her more complicated stitches.

Useful Notes: 
Round 32: When completing the Ch5, TC in 5th ch from hook; remember that this stitch is similar to a picot where you would typically slip stitch in the 3rd ch from the hook.  Only with the stitch in Round 32, you are doing a Treble Crochet in the indicated stitch. 
Each picture is taken after working the next Mystery Pattern Release & shows the progression of the MCAL.

Measurements
Round 7: pre-blocking 2 1/4" diameter.
Round 12: pre-blocking 4" diameter.
Round 17: pre-blocking 5 3/4" diameter.
Round 20: pre-blocking 7" diameter.
Round 27: pre-blocking 9 1/2" diameter.
Round 30: pre-blocking 10" diameter.
Round 34: pre-blocking 12" diameter.
Finished blocking size: I really stretched it. Blocked it has a 14" diameter.

Yarn Usage
Because this is a doily & each round uses a minimum of yarn, I'm sure the yarn usage is not 100% accurate.
Round 1 - 30: 29 grams
Round 31 - 34: 8 grams
Total Weight: 37 grams


Coloring is off in this picture. The flash of the camera captured the best detail but not the best coloring.
