Doilies

Crocheted doilies seem to be everywhere. I did pick up a ball of cotton thread and a magazine, wanting to give it a shot. The instructions are in Czech, but I can almost figure out the diagrams.
Alas I really prefer to knit, so I’m giving it a try, putting together stitches and pattern.
I’ve ripped it out three times. This may be a project I give up on.
