How to crochet Poinsettia Doily

November 18, 2022

This pattern reminds me of the pretty Christmas plant, so I decided to call it a Poinsettia Doily. The designer of this pattern is unknown, it’s a free diagram online. It will make a pretty Christmas decoration on any table!

The skill level to crochet Poinsettia Doily is intermediate and with this pattern you will learn or practice front post double crochet stitch.

The 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. In the video tutorial I show exactly how to block the Poinsettia Doily!
