Description I just love to make doilies, & I must say this is the one I'm most proud of! Especially a small part of the pattern was missing & I had to fill it in. I used bedspread weight cotton & a pattern I found in my Blue Ribbon Crochet book from House of White Birches.

Excellent work , wonderful detail .
In the canal and boating community here in England
pieces like this are widely used decorating boats , and
would be highly desired . Good stuff .

I am not a huge fan of doilies but I really like this one, I think the blue just add something special to the everyday doily..

Thank you so much! I agree, blue is just the perfect color for doilies.

Is this the kind of crochet, ack I cannot remember what it is called, where you crochet over a thread to create that look? I want to guess Irish crochet....??
It is beautiful.

Are you thinking of crotatting? (I think that's what it's called.) I thought that's what it was, but its just sc over chains- lots of chains! Thanks so much for the feedback.

Ahh, over chains. Well that would be just as new to me, I was reading a pattern that had one crocheting over a heavier thread....looks challenging, good job!

Thank you so much. This was definitely one of the most challenging doilies I ever made.

Beautiful! I love ornate doilies like these! I also like how it has blue. Makes the shape stand out beautifully.

Yes, this is definitely one of my favorites. Dot Drake designs some awesome doilies! Thank you so much for your feedback!

Thanks for the tip! They do look really nice. Iยดm afraid, I still have a lot of work to do until I undestand the english directions to crochet, though.

Thanks so much! I agree. Pink is my fave color, but blue just looks so lovely on doilies for some reason.
