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 yarn is made by Lion Brand, and is a Weight 4 – Medium yarn.

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!

    1. Hi Julie,
      Yes, it is, but I wanted to separate them, so it was understood that the ch 2 was part of the pattern and not a starting chain which does not count as a stitch.

  1. Hi. I am making this right now but am stuck on row 14. What does *dc, chain 3, dc in chain of first double crochet* mean? I don’t know where to place the stitch.

  2. Hello,
    Thanks for answering my questions! I almost forgot to check back. I’m going to go search my stash so I can get started on this. Than you for sharing your pattern.

  3. Hello,
    Where you slip stitch to the first double crochet are you then starting the next round in that same stitch?
