Pinwheel Doily I did a while back with light blue thread from a free pattern I found. Pretty easy pattern from what I recall but it turned out pretty nice I think. I have some black thread I think I might try it with next time.

Completed and blocked this doily in anticipation of selling it in a holiday market. I don't know how to price these kind of things, though...sigh.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1069995271/vintage-floral-doilies-crochet-pattern I've started on the Daffodil doily. Leisurely tempo as long as it's finished by Spring.

Just finally finished blocking my Christmas Pineapple Doily. The pattern for it is available for free here. For this pattern, you'll need a skein of size 10 crochet thread in white, red, and green, using hook size 1.75 mm. Finished size is about 2.5 feet in diameter after blocking.

I'm a beginner crocheter and this is the first pattern I've created. I wanted to try a doily but I could find a pattern to match the size yarn and hook I wanted to use so i decided to try my own. I used 2 skeins of embroidery thread and it has a wpi of 12/13 and a size F hook. I believe though that as long as you use the same number of stitches per round, then it should work with any weight of yarn and hook. I plan to try it again with worsted weight yarn and a 5mm, 5.5mm or 6.5mm hook.

11 row pattern. 1.5mm. Perle 5

A new doily called Tegan designed by Grace Fearon. The pattern is currently in testing, but it should be a success when available for purchase. My test doily measures 18 inches across and was made with #10 thread using a #4/2.00mm hook.

I just finished this one after about a week of evenings. It was supposed to be 19 inches according to the pattern, but turned out to be 16 inches instead. I always tend to be a bit tight no matter how much I try to loosen up. This was designed by Patricia Kristoffersen in Leisure Arts Ultimate Doilies #3401 as Momentous Occassion. https://www.leisurearts.com/ultimate-doilies-1.html

A Pleasure by Patricia Kristoffersen. This turn out so pretty! I really enjoy her patterns.

Practicing my doily making skills. This is Springtime by Hazel Henry. I really have to learn to block better. Practice, Practice, Practice.

This was a challenge for me. I found this pattern in a booklet (Coats Sewing Group #920 Bold Crochet Motifs) a friend gave to me a while back. It took a couple tries to start. It uses UK stitch terminology, but US measurements. There are no specific instructions to actually join the motifs, only instructed to follow the photo. Simply titled "Coffee Table Mat". I chose to make a smaller doily, just to see if I could. Yay!

Looking for this pattern that my sister-in-law and I saw on a Facebook thread crochet group very recently. The crocheter said that she finished this recently from a pattern she found on Google or Pinterest some time ago, and said that was the only information she had. I've spent more hours than I'd like to admit searching for it this weekend, and my sister-in-law has put in quite a few hours herself. Any help appreciated!

It was made with sewing thread (colour match to DMC embroidery floss No.3852) and 0.50 mm crochet hook.It measures 12 cm (4 3/4 inches) in diameter. This beautiful handmade miniature textured doily will add a special touch to your home or as a wedding/special gift. It is very light and airy and not suitable for everyday use. Frame it for beautiful lace wall art. For sale in my Crochet Knit Jewelry Etsy Shop , if interested
