Vintage Pansy Doilies for Spring


Crocheted in the round with a white center, traditional pansy doilies have flowers around the edge that are crafted separately and added with a joining row, often in green. Many patterns call for a ruffled edging in white along the petals. They are usually made with #10 crochet cotton and a steel hook.

New Thread Crochet Doily in Progress

I'm hoping to list this on Etsy soon. This is the "Pineapples" pattern from the book Classic Doilies, Five Designs to Crochet. Most of the doily is crocheted in the round, with the tips of the pineapples at the edge crocheted separately. This doily is crafted with #10 crochet cotton in Cream, with a #6 steel hook.
