Inici / Tina's Crochet / Doilies 20
Last addition: 6/12/2008
Doily
I made this doily for some friends. Pattern Source: The Ultimate Doily Book, published by ASN (the American School of Needlework), whose publications are now being distributed by Annie's Attic.
Variegated doily
Variegated doily Pattern Source: ASN's The Ultimate Doily Book. See the previous photo for order info.
Butterfly filet doily
Butterfly filet doily Pattern source: Butterfly Doilies leaflet published by ASN. Unfortunately, I believe that this leaflet may be out of print. Even if it is, I regret to say that I cannot make copies -- it's still illegal and I simply do not have the time. This has been one of the most-asked-about patterns on these web pages, and if I copied it for everyone who asked I'd never get any crocheting done!
Curly-Q Doily
Curly-Q Doily The spirals in this one are cute, but making them was murder on the fingers. Pattern Source: This pattern appeared in Hooked on Crochet issue #59, which is the Sept/Oct '96 issue. I do not know if back issues are available; to find out, write to: The Needlecraft Shop LLC, 23 Old Pecan Road, Big Sandy, TX 75755-2218, or call 903-636-4000, ext. 201.
Pineapple mat
Pineapple mat Pattern Source: House of White Birches leaflet Old Time Crochet Made Easy. Unfortunately, I have been told that subsequent printings of this leaflet no longer have this pattern and that HoWB no longer publishes it.
Pineapples and hearts doily
Pineapples and hearts doily Pattern Source: The premier issue of Crochet With Heart magazine. Unfortunately, this magazine is no longer published by Leisure Arts.
Pinwheel coasters
Pinwheel coasters Pattern Source: October 1996 issue of Crochet With Heart magazine. Leisure Arts may or may not have back issues.
Shadow filet rose doily
Shadow filet rose doily This doily is a filet crochet rose, done with tr's instead of dc's; in this way I could use what is known as "shadow spaces" to make the leaves. (A shadow space is ch 1, tr, ch 1, while a closed block is 3 tr and an open block is 3 chs...each is bordered by 2 tr, of course.) Wish I could find more shadow-filet patterns; I think they're really neat. Pattern Source: Floral Doilies by Dover Needlework.
Pink rose Irish-crochet doily
Pink rose Irish-crochet doily [6/8/2001] One weekend, I just wanted to make something quick and easy. The Love Knot stitch has always been one of my favorites; it's lacy and elegant -- and it works up really quickly. I finished this doily more quickly than I've ever finished any other, and I love the way it turned out. Pattern Source: This one is from the Annie's Attic booklet "Irish Crochet Doilies" (#87E28). I don't see it on Annie's website, so if you'd like to order it, try calling them at 1-800-LV-ANNIE.
Irish crochet rose doily
Irish crochet rose doily [8/24/2002] I made one of these a few years ago but gave it away without getting a good photo of it. This still isn't the best picture as it doesn't really show the detail of the raised flowers, but it was the best I could do. Pattern Source: This one's from the same leaflet as the pink rose doily, Irish Crochet Doilies, Annie's Attic leaflet #87E28.
Heart doily
Heart doily [4/15/2003] Pattern Source: An ASN leaflet called Our Favorite Doilies (#1266). I was unable to find it on ASN's site (their stuff is now on Annie's Attic but it wasn't there either); however, Jennie Gaskin at Country Yarns may have some in stock.
Praline Pinwheel doily
Praline Pinwheel doily [8/29/2002] Pattern Source: ASN's Ultimate Doily Book. Annie's Attic now distributes ASN's publications.
Pansy doily
Pansy doily [4/15/2003] Pattern Source: The HoWB leaflet Old-Time Crochet Made Easy (#101057).
Shaded doily
Shaded doily [4/11/2004] I was intrigued by the shading in this doily -- it's done with 3 strands of standard sewing thread, and when you change colors colors, you change one strand, do a round, change a second, do another round, and then change the third. It makes for a gradual color change, and looks really cool. Pattern Source: This is from the September 2003 issue of Crochet! magazine.
"Twists and Turns" mat
"Twists and Turns" mat [6/29/2004] This is one of those patterns that make me really admire the versatility of crochet. It wasn't easy (the magazine lists the skill level as "Top Expert"), but I love the ribbon-like appearance. Pattern Source: Magic Crochet magazine #150, June 2004.
