Crochet Doily| Step by Step Instructions|
Materials
-
Fine or thread-weight crochet yarn (e.g., cotton thread)
-
Appropriately sized crochet hook (often around 1.75–2.5 mm)
-
Scissors and tapestry needle for weaving ends
-
Stitch marker (optional but helpful for marking rounds)
Doily Instructions
Round 1 – Center Ring
-
Create a magic ring (or ch‑4 and join to form a loop).
-
Chain 3 (counts as first dc), then work 11 more double crochets (dc) into the ring for a total of 12 dc.
-
Pull the ring tight, then join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the initial chain‑3.
Round 2 – First Expansion
-
Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
-
Work 2 dc in each stitch around (each previous stitch gets one increase), increasing to 24 dc total.
-
Join with sl st to the initial chain‑3.
Round 3 – Alternating Increases
-
Chain & first dc as usual (chain 3 = dc).
-
Work 1 dc in first stitch, then 2 dc in next stitch—repeat this — expanding the circle evenly.
-
End each round with a sl st into the chain‑3.
Round 4 – Introduce Chain Spaces
-
Begin with chain 4 (counts as dc + ch‑1).
-
Dc into next stitch, chain 1—repeat around, evenly alternating dc and chain‑1 spaces.
-
Close the round with a sl st.
Round 5 – Work into Chain Spaces
-
Begin with chain 3 (counts as first dc).
-
Into each chain‑1 space from the previous round, work 1 dc.
-
Also work dc into each existing dc stitch. This preserves round width while forming the lace pattern.
-
Join with sl st to top of starting chain‑3.
Quick Summary
Round | Pattern Summary |
---|---|
1 | Magic ring → ch-3 + 11 dc → sl st join |
2 | ch-3 + 2 dc in each stitch → sl st join |
3 | Patterned increases (1 dc, 2 dc) around |
4 | ch-4 (dc + ch-1), dc, ch-1 across → sl st |
5 | dc into both dc and chain spaces |
Pro Tips
-
Use a stitch marker to mark the start of each round if working continuously to ensure accurate joins and symmetry.
-
Maintain consistent stitch tension for a perfectly flat doily.
-
To enhance lace detail and achieve a crisp shape, block your finished doily.
-
The pattern can be extended beyond round 5 by continuing to add similar structured rounds—experiment with shell stitches or increased chain spaces to expand it organically.
