Its decorative look will also bring an elegant touch to every bedroom dresser or TV stand.
Tools and Yarn You Will Need

The pattern calls for cotton thread size 10, such as YarnArt Lily. It’s available in many colors, so you can find a shade that speaks to your heart most. Depending on your tension, you can use either a 1.5 mm or 2 mm hook.
How This Doily Comes Together
The Margrete Doily is an advanced project with numerous advanced stitches worked front and back over 19 rounds. You will find here a range of techniques from popcorns and post stitches to cables and Irish crochet lace. The pattern features clear instructions written row-by-row.
FAQ
How large is the finished Margrete doily?
The finished doily is about 10″ across when crocheted with suggested materials. However, factors such as varying tension or a different hook size can change its final measurements.
Do I need to block the finished doily?
Yes, if you want your lace crochet doily to have a polished look, blocking the finished piece is more than recommended. To do so, soak the doily in lukewarm water for about 15-20 minutes, pin it to the blocking mat, and let it dry completely.
