A doily with a 3D-optic in Elisa thread size 20

[Veronika Rohrhofer]

In my other crochet group a member posted a photo from a doily asking if any one knows where to find the pattern. Some members of the group now started to work from this photo (and also I did). I think with the doily in Elisa thread size 20 in ecru I came close to this doily on the photo. I first tried it in Elsia thread siize 20 in yellow. As the copyright regulations are not clear I will not post any pattern. Here are my two doilies in 3D-optic:

That is so cool.

Stunning as usual!  They truly look like flowers in bloom.  Just lovely!!! 

[silverbelle29]

They're both absolutely beautiful!

[Granny Square]

How unusual, and beautiful!  The middle section made me think of parachutes!

[hershey038]

Just beautiful!!!

[Startigerlily]

Wonderful!

[howieann]

Wow! Beautiful!

[Peggy85225]

They're both stunning.

[Camelia Thompson]

Anyone know how can I get the pattern for this one please?

I am sorry, Camelia, I only had a photo to work from, no written pattern. To my knowledge the original pattern was issued in a Japanese Crochet book.

My latest version is made in sewing thread and it is bigger, but I am still working on some improvements to my handwritten notices.

Those are AWESOME!

 

I just love your work

[breeze530]

Wow! Both are just lovely. I love the shape of the 1st one. It's so unique. Great job!

Really cool design!

I realize this post is over a year old, but I just ran across it over the past week and have been dying to take a stab at it.  This is the first time I have crocheted anything without a diagram or pattern.  Below is what I was able to come up with based on your work.  It is 15.5 inches diameter, made with Lydia 10 and a 1.80mm steel hook.  I tend to be a bit tight on stitches.  That might be because I am a guy, or just my lack of experience.  And yes, I realize I need to block it.  ;-)

 

BTW, where do you find your patterns?  Your stuff is absolutely the most beautiful I have ever seen!

My doily patterns come from English (Crochet Monthly - discontinued), German (Diana Filethaekeln, HaekelDeckchen, Filethaekeln leicht gemacht, Die Masche) and Japanese Crochet Books. As I collect them I have hundreds of books. Sometimes I find  some books on ebay.de which I miss in my collection. In the near future (have not found a computer based design program yet) I will design my own patterns.

Thanks for the resources!  Crochet Monthly is very hard to find back issues, but I will remain on the lookout!
