Rose doily

[mimicat]

I made this doily just in time for valentines

I picked out a pattern from CPC, its the Victorian Rose Doily (pdf).

I managed to make my own design for the leaf, since I didnt really like the original.

Edited to add: Here's the same pattern for Rose Doily in html (thanks for the link, Tina!)

 

The finished doily center is about 5 1/4" diameter and the rose is about 2".

Materials used: crochet cotton size 8 for the doily and roses, 6-strand embroidery floss for the leaves, 1.75mm steel hook

Very pretty and I like the leaves.

That is just beautiful, Mimi!! I first saw it on your blog today then here. I have made similar doilies to that but square, so I know all those roses and leaves are a lot of work!! But it's worth it for the finished result. Just gorgeous!!

This one is similar, too. I thought that was the one you made, but when I clicked on your link I saw it is totally different. (Yours is prettier than the original!) Now I want to crochet a doily.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments! It is rather tedious to do the roses and leaves, but this doily is small and doesnt take too long to finish. The result is very pleasing!

Thanks for this link Tina, I looked at it and saw that it is the same doily. The other pattern is in pdf.

Hi Mimi, I love what you did with the leaves. They give movement to the design! My eye moved around rather than out. Very pretty.

[Celestial Seasonings]

Gorgeous! I've had my eye on that one. . .

Mimi, your doily is exquisite! That must have taken a lot of work! It's beautiful!

[RachelG]

Oh, Mimi, that's gorgeous. One of my most favorite flowers is pink roses. Love it!

[mimicat]

Thanks again for all your comments, I picked this doily because its challenging, but not too much - so I know I can actually finish it.

Thanks for saying that, Goldi! Its quite a small doily, and its really not much work.

Thanks Rachel, I'm so glad you like it! I have used that shade of pink many times, and I thought it was perfect for the roses.

mimicat: That is one great looking doily

 

I would put it in an area where everyone could see it with a small

 

note beside it saying

 

“needs vase with a dozen red roses to completeâ€

 

maybe someone will take the hint and they will appear by Valentines Day

Thanks for your comment, John! I wonder if Mary Jo gave you the same note when she has finished a new doily ... (just kidding...) Actually, I dont expect to receive any flowers that's why I crocheted the doily with roses in it.
