Doily and Coasters Set
Are you in doily withdrawal? If so, you can take a gander at this doily and coasters set I made for my friend's bridal shower gift!
The crochet specifics: size 10 thread, 1.5mm hook, and the pattern Round Crochet Doilie.
Using two patterns from the Japanese book Crochet Lace in Antique Style (thanks again Ale!), I made six coasters (three from each pattern) with size 10 thread and a 1.65mm hook.
I think the doily and the coasters makes a pretty cute little drink set! I could see a cute tea pot on the doily with some matching little tea cups on the coasters... mmmm tea... I think I hear Earl Grey calling my name. Coming! Have a fabulous day my friends!
What a gorgeous doily and coasters, Kate. The colour is one of my favourites too, that golden yellow. That's a wonderful gift for your friend's bridal shower! I like the shape of that last little doily with four circles. I can just see a dainty Japanese teapot on that one!

These are really gorgeous. Do you block them when you're done crocheting?
ReplyDeleteYes I do! I forgot to mention that part! Yes, I pin them out with T pins, spray them with water and let them dry overnight! Easy!

I love 'em - they're so bright and pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Debi!! I can't get enough that yellow color!

I want to make something like this for my niece who just purchased her first home, but I want to use thread and an F hook. Possible?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry it's taken so long to reply!! An F hook may be too big for size 10 thread like I used... However, I have used a D hook with size 3 thread, which I thought worked pretty well! The best thing I can suggest is to just experiment with the pattern you want to use, try different hook sizes and see what you like!
DeleteGood luck!
