The pattern is a bit of a challenge due to the variety of stitches used, but the end product is very rewarding!
Materials You’ll Need
To make the Tesla Doily, prepare a 1.75 mm crochet hook and cotton thread size 10. The designer used Nazli Gelin Garden 10, but this yarn is unfortunately no longer available. Instead, you can go for YarnArt Violet 10.
How to Crochet a Tesla Doily

How to Block a Crochet Doily
Blocking is an integral part of most crochet projects, but it is especially important when it comes to delicate, lacy items like doilies and mandalas. The blocking process helps even out the stitches and texture of your piece, giving it a more polished look.

What Size Is the Finished Doily?
The original sample created by Viktoriia Gul measures 7’’ in diameter. That’s a perfectly sized doily that will make a beautiful table centerpiece. However, if you’d prefer a smaller or bigger doily, that can be easily done, too.
To do so, try switching to a larger crochet hook or thicker yarn/thread. For a smaller crocheted doily, you can skip some rounds or finish it at any point you like.
