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

  1. Create a magic ring (or ch‑4 and join to form a loop).

  2. Chain 3 (counts as first dc), then work 11 more double crochets (dc) into the ring for a total of 12 dc.

  3. Pull the ring tight, then join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the initial chain‑3.


Round 2 – First Expansion

  1. Chain 3 (counts as first dc).

  2. Work 2 dc in each stitch around (each previous stitch gets one increase), increasing to 24 dc total.

  3. Join with sl st to the initial chain‑3.


Round 3 – Alternating Increases

  1. Chain & first dc as usual (chain 3 = dc).

  2. Work 1 dc in first stitch, then 2 dc in next stitch—repeat this — expanding the circle evenly.

  3. End each round with a sl st into the chain‑3.


Round 4 – Introduce Chain Spaces

  1. Begin with chain 4 (counts as dc + ch‑1).

  2. Dc into next stitch, chain 1—repeat around, evenly alternating dc and chain‑1 spaces.

  3. Close the round with a sl st.


Round 5 – Work into Chain Spaces

  1. Begin with chain 3 (counts as first dc).

  2. Into each chain‑1 space from the previous round, work 1 dc.

  3. Also work dc into each existing dc stitch. This preserves round width while forming the lace pattern.

  4. Join with sl st to top of starting chain‑3.


Quick Summary

Round                                                    Pattern Summary                               
1Magic ring → ch-3 + 11 dc → sl st join
2ch-3 + 2 dc in each stitch → sl st join
3Patterned increases (1 dc, 2 dc) around
4ch-4 (dc + ch-1), dc, ch-1 across → sl st
5dc 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.
