Doily with grapes

It is not a big doily but it took me a lot of time, maybe because of multiplicity of small elements joined together. This doily I made after matura :)

Salmon-pink doily with popcorn stitch

Popcorn stitch is pretty and simple stitch. If I find some time, I will draw all stitches and I will put them to "tutorials" tab or somewhere under the archive. For now I send you to youtube.

It can't be seen in this picture, but this doily from above looks like made with overlapped circles. I will search for another picture and I will put it tomorrow or later.

Another photos here.

Blue and straw-colored little tablecloth

This is the largest doily that I have done. I like it so much that I put it on a background for my blog.
I started with half of skeins of yellow and bule thread, and when I made half of the doily I needed to buy new ones.
It is funny that the newer is the pattern the bigger is the doily.




Diameter: 63 cm

Orange, butted doily

I found an interesting pattern in one of crochet magazines, but maybe I used too thick thread because it ripples near the center, there, where chains are, even ironing didn't help.

I usually don't pay attention to size of a thread, I just iron everything to appearance that I like.



Diameter: 26 cm.

Large, salmon-pink doily

When I was looking at the pattern I was thinking that this doily would be much smaller... and this is so big that it doesn't fit to my commode.
To be honest, I wasted for if almost 100 g of thread, do you believe it?



Diameter: 53,5 cm.

Shoes for baptism

Shoes made to order. Actually these were the first shoes I have ever designed and made.




Length: 7 cm.

Pink sandals

This shoes I have made to order. I made myself the pattern and although it was difficult it gave me a lot of satisfaction :)




Length: 7 cm.

White collar

The first collar I've ever made. The time was passing slowly but I would do it one more time, if it had any sense ;)
Maybe I will give it to someone...
However, when I was looking for any pattern, I learnt how to crochet a pleat. This collar I have made on such a pleat and part of a doily's pattern.

I will be wearing it in winter because it is really warm.

Cheerful, stuffed cat
