The timeless appeal of doilies is brought into modern homes using clear written crochet instructions and easy-to-follow symbols in this helpful guide and pattern book. Through traditional methods that yield seven beautiful designs, the classic doily is presented here for crochet crafters at an easy or intermediate level, and the book includes ideas for updating an ordinary doily using color crochet thread. From circles and squares to floral designs and even an attractive pineapple shape, the doily projects range from 12 to 17 inches in diameter or 13 inches square and are made using size 10 and 20 crochet cotton thread and six-strand embroidery floss.
