If you are looking for a simple, fun and fast crochet project, this free Small Doily Pattern is just the thing. This cute doily is great for beginners as it works up quickly and doesn’t require much yarn. Even though it’s small, this doily is perfect for adding a unique and colorful touch to your home decor.
I made this doily with cotton thread size 20 and a 1,25 mm crochet hook. It measures almost 16 cm (6,3 inches) in diameter. You can use different yarn weights to create doilies of various sizes.
Besides your chosen thread and crochet hook, you will also need a needle to weave in loose ends and a pair of scissors.
