Charming Doily Crochet Pattern

The Charming Doily is fresh and delightful, works up very quickly and doesn’t require a lot of yarn. You can make it in a variety of colors and with different yarn weights. This way you will have unique lace doilies of different sizes to decorate your home. I suggest using this amazing free pattern to create a set of special coasters that will make your table bloom!
I crocheted my Charming Doily with cotton thread size 10 and a 1,5 mm crochet hook. It measures 17,5 cm (6,8 inches) in diameter.
Besides your chosen thread and crochet hook, you will also need a needle to weave in loose ends and a pair of scissors.
