Lily doily

Summer is a time of flowers and I want to celebrate it with crocheting another floral doily, which I call the lily doily because I can see the purple blossoms on long stems when I look at the wheel of petals on this doily.

I’ve created 2 video tutorials for this doily – how to crochet it and how to block it. Check out both! Enjoy!

VIDEO TUTORIAL OF LILY DOILY

Sue Smith Thank You So Much for your Beautiful Creations 💖 I Love the video and the words on top of the video ❣

Ruby Frost I just completed this doily, it is so pretty, thank you so much! You are an amazing teacher. I’ve crochet afghans since I was a child but never knew how to crochet doilies. I just started earlier this year by watching your videos. Thank you again!
