Razzle Dazzle Doyley

This is currently something I'm working on. It's pretty fast and easy, but it can be a little fiddly when making the loops. To learn how to make the loops click here, and to join it into a circle click here (however, skip the first part about gathering the first side of loops - you don't need to do that for this pattern).

I'm currently making this in a fuchsia size 80 tatting cotton, and I'm using a British size 5 (1.4mm) steel hook with a short handle. It's pretty easy, and my first Hairpin piece. I have an Aero 3/4" hairpin lace loom (looks similar to the metal knitting needles), but you can get adjustable looms.

Requires white, No. 80 crochet cotton, a crochet hook suitable to work, and padding cord.

Does requiring having a padding cord make this a form of Irish crochet? Please let me know in the comments.
