🌼Statement Doily
Hello everyone,
This is a statement doily — large, made of very thin cotton thread in white and yellow shades, with a subtle and beautiful colour transition.
This wasn’t a recent project, but something I worked on for several months. It was strongly requested by one rather eccentric auntie, and at the time I had no idea what I was signing up for.
I started questioning my life choices as soon as I began crocheting this massive yet very precise piece. It required a tiny crochet hook and extremely small stitches. The pattern itself wasn’t difficult, but it demanded constant attention and careful counting.
The doily has a diameter of 97 cm.
I do love the final result, but I don’t think I would make something like this again — unless I somehow ended up with nothing else to do for a very long time.
It wasn’t a relaxing kind of work, and I’m honestly surprised that some people truly enjoy making doilies or large lace pieces like this. I really admire those who create such items regularly.
Anyway, the project is finished, the piece has been sold, and you can see the result in the photos below.
