Is the Dreaming of Spring Doily Suitable for Beginners?
Every crochet beginner who would like to bring their skills to the next level should give this project a try.
This doily crochet pattern will be particularly easy for those familiarised with basic crochet techniques. It’s made only with double crochets, treble crochets, and some double crochet decreases. The designer also provides a helpful step-by-step video tutorial to follow along.
What Materials Are Recommended for this Crochet Doily?
Work it in the round with a 1.5 mm crochet hook, perfect for making delicate lace pieces like crochet mandalas and doilies. Also, be sure to use a thread for this project. Regular yarn might be too thick to give you the same beautiful results, so save it for other crochet projects.
A popular choice is Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Crochet Thread, but other cotton threads should work great, too.
How Do I Keep My Crochet Doily Flat?
After you finish your spring crochet doily, don’t forget to block your work. It’s a crucial step that you can’t omit, especially if your project has bumps or ruffled edges.
Spray your doily with some water or immerse it in a starch solution, then pin it on a flat surface (blocking mat or piece of cardboard) until it dries. This will shape your work properly, giving it a nice, neat look.
