Materials You Need to Get Started
Before you start working up this crochet doily, prepare the right supplies. The designer used Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Crochet Thread, a 100% cotton perfect for making delicate lace items. You will also need a steel hook in size 1.25 mm or 1.5 mm if you tend to crochet more loosely.
Techniques You’ll Use
This gorgeous doily crochet pattern is worked in the round with a range of various stitches. Its intricate lacy design makes it suitable for those with intermediate experience. While working on this project, you will get a chance to practice picots, clusters, and post stitches.
Does This Pattern Require Blocking?
Yes, in fact, the designer recommends blocking your crocheted doily twice. First, you should do so after finishing the 12th round. At this point, the structure of your piece might start to ruffle. To even out the stitches, pin down your doily and spray it with water.
When you complete the whole project, make sure to do the blocking a second time by soaking it in mild detergent.
