Net Mesh Doily is really easy to crochet, and the simple net pattern looks great with some type of multi-color thread or yarn. It’s also very easy to adjust the size of this by adding the rounds, so you can even make a pretty throw or blanket out of it.
It’s fun to crochet a square doily for a change, since there are so many rounds ones done. And this design uses the simplified version of my Network Shopper pattern, so make sure to check that out as well.
BLOCKING DOILY
The Net Mesh Doily definitely needs blocking after you finish it. I usually make the piece 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.
