Claret oval doily

Here’s a mystery knit - no pictures, only a diagram to go from. The idea is to have something to make an oval mantilla to wear on my head for Mass. It looks like it will be too small - but that’s okay, it will be quicker to knit that way.

Finding weird things with the pattern as I go. It has you pick up stitches after row 96, but it makes more sense to finish on a K row 97 and pick up the right way round. Then there’s the mystery 8 stitches in the instructions while the needles clearly have 12 there. I think some errata are in order! Also some kludgey increases to make up for earlier misunderstandings - Ripping out lace doesn’t sound so appealing - maybe I just need to let it rest and come back with some perspective.
