A new doily is complete!
It is a vintage pattern from Doilies Lily Design Book No. 201 by Lily Mills Company, 1960.
In the original publication this doily is called Pineapple Doily. But these "pineapples" look more like "pine cones" to me. Either way, it is a very beautiful doily.
Since it's a vintage one, I experimented with the Picasa's holga-ish setting to give my pictures "old" look. Wow, the pictures do look old, and gloomy, and even spooky... But I sort of like it!
For my doily I used size ten crochet cotton thread, and a 1.25 mm steel hook. My doily came out quite big. It measures 24 inches in diameter.
I like the pointy edging. And the best part is I didn't have to cut the thread and complete each point individually. Those points were actually all made in rounds.

Thank you for this pattern, it is gorgeous. About how much thread did you use?
ReplyDeleteThank you,

Oh, that's hard to say how much thread I used. I usually buy a huge Aunt Lidia ball of thread at Michael's (with a 40% off coupon it's a really good deal), and I can make LOTS of doilies out of it.
DeleteLovely...
