Decorative Lacy Crochet Doilies – Free Patterns
Amazing decorative doilies can be considered art without hesitation! These circular crocheted pieces are so intricate and detailed, that only experienced makers can master it.
The stitches need to be very even, tension equal in all parts of the piece, not to mention advanced techniques for creating depth and structure. Doilies are most often made with fine yarn or thread, and blocked afterwards. Blocking and stiffening are required in such delicate pieces, to even out all the irregularities that come from crocheting. By using these techniques, you can achieve amazing results – little pieces of art! Decorative doilies can be put on the table or featured on the wall, because they most definitely deserve to be admired by your guests! Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.

Hi Catherine! Thank you so much, it’s so nice to hear! Good luck with it!
Why can I only see pics and no patterns?
Hi Dorothy, the patterns are below the pics 🙂
You keep saying that the patterns are below the pics but I cannot find anything under the pics. I don’t have all the time in the world to look for these patterns and it is very frustrating. This is the hardest website to use for patterns that I have found.
Hi Sharon, the links are below the pics, sometimes you have to scroll down a little, but they’re there. The link is leading directly to the pattern. 🙂
