How to crochet Spring Leaf Doily

April 12, 2022

Spring is here and it’s getting greener outside every day, so I invite you to crochet this new Spring Leaf Doily with me. The designer of this doily is unknown, it’s a free diagram online, but I’m very grateful for this beautiful pattern.

The skill level is intermediate because the pattern uses several special stitches as well as fine crochet thread and hook. With this pattern you will learn or practice different types of clusters.

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 Spring Leaf Doily!

WRITTEN PATTERN OF SPRING LEAF DOILY

I use Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread size 10. Color in tutorial is Wasabi and 350 yards in one ball is enough for the doily. Crochet hook is 1.75 mm. My doily measures about 16 inches in diameter.


Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
dc = double crochet
beg = beginning
tr = triple crochet
dc2tog = double crochet 2 together
dc3-cl = 3 double crochet cluster

tr2tog = triple crochet 2 together
sc = single crochet
tr3-cl = 3 triple crochet cluster

Special stitches:
beg tr3-cl = ch 3, (start tr in indicated st, leave last 2 loops on hook) twice, yarn over and pull through 3 loops on hook.
tr3-cl = (start tr in indicated st, leave last 2 loops on hook) 3 times, yarn over and pull through 4 loops on hook.
beg dc3-cl = ch 2, (start dc in indicated st, leave last 2 loops on hook) twice, yarn over and pull through 3 loops on hook.
