Doilies lead a charmed dual life, for they’re pretty as well as useful! Wherever they appear throughout the home, they create an air of charming femininity that suggests the daintiness of the person who made them! Many crochet doily patterns were published by thread manufacturers in the first part of the 20th century to promote their threads. The designs are typically circular or oval starting from the center and worked outward. Doilies as well as other household items may also be made by crocheting rows on a grid pattern using a technique called filet crochet. Here you'll find a happy blending of old and new crochet doily patterns.
