It’s time to get fancy.
Undoubtedly, from a purely decorative sense, a stunning lacy doily is the acme of the crocheter’s art. Indeed, there are few projects as aesthetically pleasing and as well designed to show off your abilities. Consequently, these wonderful patterns will enable you to truly express your love for the art and to practice many different techniques and methods. Besides the decorative aspect, they are simply beautiful and meditational works of art in and of themselves. Therefore, I believe that you will love them as much as I do.
Winter Rose Mandala
Unquestionably, this stunning lacy doily is replete with very regular and evenly spaced texture transitions. Moreover, it also has a great balance between denser and lacier portions, which is not always the case with every such project.

Pretty Pinwheel Doily
As I was looking for a Christmas doily pattern, I found this Pretty Pinwheel Doily. It looks so gorgeous, especially in the Red, White & Blue project by RosesNLace. As it is a day before Remembrance Day/Veterans’ Day, it is a great project to decorate your house, and to underline the importance of that day. It will also be an appreciated gift for a veteran neighbour or as a donation to your local school or the VA. This pattern can be used for many other occasions, e.g. Independence Day, Memorial Day, or to celebrate a winning game of the national team. Otherwise, what if we go beyond red, white, and blue? This colorful and amazing doily will be a tasteful decor for your home.
