Crochet Doily #6621, Free Vintage Pattern




This is a vintage doily pattern from Star Book #66 by American Thread Company, 1949. 



To make this doily I used size ten crochet cotton thread and 1.25 mm steel hook. My doily came out about twelve inches in diameter. I changed the color after round 10, and for the last round.


I'm posting this pattern exactly as it appears in the original publication.

  12. Olga, this is a particularly pretty doily! I have been on a knitting, crocheting, piano-playing break to try to ease the pain in my very bad shoulders. It makes me so sad that knitting is the worst for aggravating my problems, and then crochet. But typing I can do. Go figure. But when I think I can give things a go again, I'm going to choose one of your pretty patterns! Have a wonderful weekend. Bess

  15. A lovely doily. I particularly like the designs using multiple colors. Here, the thin border in the center color makes that lovely border pop out.
