How To Make a Pretty Lace Doily

Add a touch and elegance, style and charming ambiance to your tabletops with this adorable round Pretty Lace Crochet doily. Use them on your tables or you can use them to decorate your walls. The pattern is very simple and can be made in any size of your choice. 

I have used two tones of shade. You can experiment with different colors or crochet it in monotone. Either way, they will definitely look exquisite every time. The material used is Crochet Thread Yarn. This gives the doily a delicate and lacy feel and look. Doilies are also great for gifting to your loved ones, be it any occasion.

• 2mm Crochet Hook
