How to read the scheme:
Read the scheme from bottom to top.
Read odd rows from right to left, even rows from left to right.

Note:
The pattern is turned 90 degrees on purpose, and that's how you are supposed to crochet it, so the finished doily doesn't appear too stretched in length.

ch - chain
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
picot - sc in third chain from hook
* - repeat the following instructions as many times as indicated
