How to Crochet a Doily
It is really easy to make this crocheted doily because it uses simple crochet stitches! If you can double crochet, then you definitely can make this pattern which means it’s a great beginner crocheter pattern too!
Do you want a refresher on the double crochet stitch? Read up on it here or watch the Easy Crochet YouTube tutorial here.
The Yarn that’s perfect for this doily
As for the yarn that you’ll want to use, I suggest Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand! I made this doily in one color ( I used Vanna’s Choice in Silver Heather), but you can use multiple colors for a great stash buster project.
This pattern has other great home uses too!
This pattern can be used for many other home decoration projects also! You could use this for a wall hanging since this is a reasonably large doily pattern! Just attach to a stick, and you’d have wall decor!
I could even see this as a pillow too! Just make two, use a pillow insert, seam them together, and you are good to go. If you do make one of these, I’d love to see it!

Hi! It is up to date. š What problem were you having? I could help!
Krista
Hello,
Where you slip stitch to the first double crochet are you then starting the next round in that same stitch?
Hello,
One more question. Is the chain three considered the first dc?
Thanks!
Hi Laurie,
The chain 3 does not count as a stitch.
Krista
Hi! š
Yes, you start the round in the same stitch you slip stitch into.
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
