Hi, I could really use some help in figuring out the below pattern. The pattern is in symbols but the pattern is so dim and blurry that I am having difficulty reading it - not sure if it is my eyes or if it is the pattern itself.

Are there alternative yarns you would recommend for those of us who don't do merino? Is there a comparable baby alpaca or blend? Since you don't mention yarn weight is this 0 or 1? I guess the word "lace" gives it away, but just want to confirm before I purchase something other than...

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but I've finished my first pattern and am selling it on Etsy and Ravelry. It's a skull doily done in fliet crochet -- just in time to whip one up for Halloween or Día de los Muertos. Check it out: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/skull-doily...

I've made three of these hats already. I really love this pattern. It's written using a bulky yarn—11 sc-tbl over 4". So it worked up really fast. The third photo uses a thinner yarn. I got 13 sc-tbl over 4" so I made the largest size and it measures about 21" circumference. There...
