This crochet pattern will be published in my 2024 doilies book, which will include the written instructions and diagram. Please feel free to follow me on Instagram to be updated 🙂
Size of the finished doily is about 25 x 25 cm after blocking. I highly recommend to wash and block the doilies for the better look.
Materials:
You will need about 155 m of size 3 crochet thread and an appropriate crochet hook (2 mm).
There are 15 rounds.

You can make more of these motifs and join them using sl st in the process (at the picot and ch-2 spaces) to make a large square doily or even a tablecloth! 🙂
