Summer Splendor Free Crochet Pattern

This beautiful doily crochet pattern by Denise (Augostine) Owens will definitely add some splendor to your interiors. You can make it multicolor or just use one hue – it will be even more elegant! The finished doily is 11′ in diameter.

What Yarn and Hook for Summer Splendor Doily?

For lace crochet doilies, threads are a top choice. The pattern suggests using J&P Coats Knit-Cro-Sheen, which is a size 10 crochet cotton thread. If you want to try another brand, any size 10 mercerized cotton will work well. The shine of mercerized cotton brings out the details in the stitches.

For the crochet hook, use a 1.65 mm steel hook size. This size ensures your stitches are tight and neatly done.

How to Crochet the Summer Splendor Doily

Making this doily involves beautiful lacework techniques. It starts with a classic center ring, then moves on to rounds of double crochets and chain spaces, making an airy yet solid base.

Bobble stitches add texture, creating a nice contrast with the openwork. As the doily grows, scalloped edges and decorative picots appear, giving the final piece a graceful and timeless look.

Best Display Ideas for a Lace Doily

The Summer Splendor Doily can be displayed in many ways. Lay it on a side table or dresser for a vintage look, or use it as a pretty crochet placemat for a tea set. To highlight its delicate details, frame it in a shadow box or mount it in a hoop as wall art.

Note: As the pattern has a dark blue background, please copy text and paste it to a text editor (Word, Notes, etc) and it will be much easier to read.
