A crochet doily

A doily
A doily

This is a very nice crochet pattern for a doily. In this sample, the diameter is 7”. I have used a yarn with a thickness of 2mm. and a hook with 1.60 mm. You can use cotton yarn in making these. It is more heat-resistant and washable. Further, it is easy to work with. 

If your yarn is not thick enough you can use 2 strands of the same colour. That is, you can crochet by taking two strands from two skeins with the same type and same colour

For one doily of 7” diameter you need less than 25g of yarn.

You can make a set of these and use them on your dining table or sell in an online market. If you are going to sell these online you have to have an online store and way of accepting money. There are some online markets you can join them free. For others, you have to pay a registration fee. Even you can advertise and sell them on your Facebook page also.

Let’s learn how to do this.
