Tips for Crocheting Doilies
So what do you do with a doily anyway? For one thing, you can make these free crochet doily patterns for decorations. Lay them on the table as a centerpiece, drape them over the back of an armchair for a pop of color, stretch them across a hoop to make a dreamcatcher or simply hang them on your walls to be admired. They can also serve more functional purposes like hotpads or placemats.
Beyond their more practical uses, I really like to think of these free crochet doily patterns as a celebration of our craft. These eye catching designs will stretch your crochet skills along with your imaginations. When you make one of these free crochet doily patterns, you are really making a work of art! Even the simplest free crochet doily patterns are stunning to behold.
You might be wondering how do you crochet a doily? Of course, there are many different ways to do it. That's the fun part of crochet doily patterns! Each design brings something unique to the table. Most doily patterns are worked in the round. Circle and floral shapes are more common, but there are also square and oval shaped doilies along with some more interesting shapes. Some of these free crochet doily patterns are worked with one color while others are worked with multiple colors. There are free crochet doily patterns for beginners, for intermediate crocheters and for advanced crocheters who are looking for a challenge. Scroll down and see for yourself!
Common Questions about Crochet Doily Patterns
What is the difference between a doily and a mandala?
You may see some patterns here and thing "hey, I thought that was a mandala!" and it's true that these two are very similar. The main difference is that a doily is usually a lacy design and a mandala is more solid. The other difference is that a doily is meant to be placed on tables or other flat surfaces, while mandalas are meant to be wall hangings and are seen vertically, although you can definitely hang a doily if you prefer or use a mandala on a table!
What kind of yarn do you use for doilies?
Most doily patterns are made with crochet thread and are very delicate, but you will see here in our pattern collection that you can make a crochet doily out of lots of different types of yarn. This also depends on what you want to use your doily for. If something hot will be lying on it, make sure you are using cotton, hemp, linen or another fiber that can handle the heat (like a tea pot!)
How long does it take to crochet a doily?
This varies widely because doilies come in so many shapes a sizes. The average time to crochet a doily is 12-16 hours from the patterns I've seen, but a very intricate thread doily could take longer. If you're looking for a quick doily project, a lot of people like the filet crochet style.
