I made this for my friend Ulla. She got it yesterday. This is my first attempt at a doily. The pattern is from a magazine (british, I think). I initially wanted to used solid color thread but could not find the right color at the local shop. So did it in variegated. It is Anchor size 8 thread and hook size was probably 2.00mm. The finished diameter of the doily was about 32 cm.
It is lovely. I think the variegation's are quite nice. I used to crochet a lot of doilies. I really should either photograph the ones I have done, or make one every once in awhile. They are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh that is cute very cute. To be your first you did great, your friend will love it great job.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I know you wanted a single color but I have to say that I think the doily is stunning with this variegated thread! You definitely inspire me as I am a debutante crocheter and I want to make beautiful doilies like this some day!
ReplyDeleteThis doily is very cute indeed. I checked on Ravelry and this is your own pattern?! You rock!
