With this free crochet doily pattern, you will be able to add a lovely accent to any room in your home. It is a very simple and modern design, yet so cute and girly, you wouldn’t want to hide this doily under a potted plant or a vase. It is a great project for beginners, it works up quickly and doesn’t require a lot of yarn.
The doily in the photo is crocheted with cute pink cotton thread size 10 and a hook 1,5 mm. It measures 16,5 cm (6,5 inches) in diameter. You can change the look and size of your motif by using different yarn weights and hook sizes.
Besides your chosen yarn and crochet hook, you will also need a needle to weave in loose ends and a pair of scissors.
