Edith Bea doily

Decorative crochet doilies come in many shapes and sizes, but they always ooze sophistication. The author of this one is Olga, who used both simple stitches and bobbles to create lacy structures. When working on crochet doilies, always remember that they require blocking and stiffening to achieve a nice geometric shape.

Almaïde

The originality of Machika’s design is mindblowing – just look at these shapes! In the photos, you can see the six-petal flower inside a circle and in another hexagonal shape. The whole piece is finished with a light and airy lace structure with picots. Don’t get discouraged when working on this piece, because it won’t look flattering until you block and stiffen it.
