Another Crocheted Doily





I am delighted to share with you my latest finish of a crocheted doily. It’s about 50cm wide and it’s from an English booklet and therefore the crocheted terms used are the English ones.  When i first started to stitch this, i was using the wrong crochet stitch as i was doing the USA crochet terms. I therefore had to unpick it all and I did go a long a way before I realised that the doily would not lie flat as it should. I then re-stitched it with the correct crochet stitch and now you can see what a wonderful doily it turned out to be. I just love the wheat design and the spider design in the middle of it complements really well.
In case you wish to make this one, it’s found in an English booklet called The Super Lace Crafts Collection Crochet, Tatting And Knitted Lace, A Coats Publication Book Number 1324, published in 1984. Here is a picture of the front cover of the book.  I bought mine from Amazon.


 hope you enjoy the pics!
luv from Olga.
