Oval Doily

[Tiga]

Hey all, I'm looking for an oval doily pattern that will fit on a side table/living room table.

 

The table in question is about 12" wide by about 17" long (guessing, as I haven't measured it exactly yet).

 

The doily can't be too lumpy, as it will have a lamp on it, as well a few knickknacks of my mom's; filet would probably be best.

 

Nothing too complicated, as I'm not exactly the most patient with fancy-thread patterns, and I think picot stitches are evil evil evil .

 

Anything with a rose pattern would be a big plus, but not required.

 

Free is better, but if you know of a great pattern in a booklet, that will work, too.

 

I don't think I'll buy a $15.00 book of doilies, though, just for one doily. I don't have THAT many side tables, lol!

Maybe there is one here you would like.

I just ran across a picot stitch on steroids! :eek

 

The way it's made is this: Chain 5, SINGLE CROCHET IN 4TH CHAIN FROM HOOK... :2eek :2eek

 

Looks really pretty though, once you get the hang of it.

They are just fussy and time consuming - not hard to do!
