Easy crochet projects are great, but we sometimes need a bit of a challenge. That’s when Tatyana’s doily design comes in – all dressed up in puffs, lace and picots. As you can see in the photos, this meticulously thought-through crochet doily looks fantastic in many colors. Grab a small-size crochet hook and a good-quality thread, and try this free pattern.

2. Enigma Mandalas

There’s something special about the combination of pink and teal, don’t you agree? Esther’s hoop mandalas in three sizes are in fact one design but finished in different stages. The central part features a lacy flower motif, and the second “layer” is a graphic bobble design. The biggest one is the most ornamental. Make all three to create a beautiful set to display on the wall.
