Crochet Doily - A Beautiful Project with Step-by-Step Instructions

Introduction Crochet doilies are a classic and elegant addition to any home decor. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a stunning crochet doily. With detailed step-by-step instructions, even beginners can create a beautiful piece. Let's dive in!

Materials Needed Before we begin, let's gather the necessary materials for this project. You will need:

• Crochet thread (number 15 for the presented doily)
• Crochet hook (1.25 millimeters)
• Slip knot technique
• Chain stitch
• Double crochet stitch
• Slip stitch

Part 1: Starting the Project To start our crochet doily, we first need to create the base ring. Using the slip knot technique, create a ring by chaining six and slip stitching into the first chain. This will form a secure ring for our doily.

Round 1: Creating the Base Ring In round 1, we will chain five and double crochet into the ring. Then, chain two and double crochet into the ring. Repeat this pattern five more times, chaining two and double crocheting into the ring each time. Finally, chain two and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain to complete round 1.

Round 2: Double Crochet Increases For round 2, chain three and double crochet into the same place where we started round 2 from. This will serve as our first double crochet. Next, we will double crochet increase by working two double crochets into the same stitch. Chain two, and repeat this double crochet increase pattern in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain to finish round 2.

Round 3: Double Crochet Increases and Chain Spaces In round 3, chain three and double crochet into the same place. Then, double crochet in the next stitch. Chain three, and work a double crochet increase in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain to complete round 3.

Round 4: Decreasing Stitches For round 4, chain two and work a double crochet two together over the next two stitches. Then, chain seven. This will create a chain space. Skip the next two stitches and work a double crochet three together over the next three stitches. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain.

Round 5: V-Stitch Pattern In round 5, chain five and double crochet into the same stitch where we started. Chain three, and work a V stitch by double crocheting, chaining two, and double crocheting into the same stitch. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain to finish round 5.

Round 6: Increasing Stitches In round 6, slip stitch into the chain-two space. Chain three and work four double crochets into the same space. Chain two, and work five double crochets into the next V stitch. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain to complete round 6.

Round 7: V-Stitch Pattern Continues For round 7, slip stitch into the next stitch and chain five. Double crochet into the same space, and chain three. Single crochet into the chain-five space, chain three, and work a V stitch in the next V stitch. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain to finish round 7.

Round 8: Adding Single Crochets In round 8, slip stitch into the chain-two space. Chain three and work four double crochets into the same space. Chain three and single crochet into the chain-five space. Chain three, and work five double crochets into the next V stitch. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the third chain of the beginning chain to complete round 8.

Round 9: Decreasing Stitches Again For round 9, slip stitch into the next stitch and chain two. Work a double crochet two together over the next two stitches. Chain seven and skip the next double crochet. Work a double crochet three together over the next three double crochets. Repeat this pattern around and slip stitch into the first double crochet two together to finish round 9.
