The Easter Square Doily is easy and enjoyable to crochet. It’s another great pattern that allows you to adjust the size of doily just by adding rounds. You could make small squares for coasters or a really big piece for table.
The Easter Square Doily definitely needs blocking after you finish it. I usually make the doily wet, stretch it out on blocking mats and attach it with pins. I also spray some starch to give it extra firm shape. Let it dry completely before removing the pins.
