This is the 2nd Magic Wings doily I have made in the last 12 months. A dear friend (who is also a 2nd cousin) saw the one I had made last year and asked if I would make her one. She wanted the same color combination, although I would have loved to do a different combination. She was thrilled when it was delivered Saturday afternoon (just in time for Mother's Day).
I don't have a name for this one as the pattern/graph came from a foreign magazine (and I don't read the language). Thank goodness for graphs that have an "international language" for all us doily lovers. Made with #10 thread and measures approximately 18-20 inches across. The colored thread is from ThreadArt.
This is an Elizabeth Hiddleson pattern called Sunny Mood. It was published in one of the Decorative Crochet or Magic Crochet books. I'm sorry that I don't know which one. I had made a copy of the pattern to work with and failed to note which book it came out of. If I made this doily again, I think I would change the final round to shells, or something similar. It is made with Alkin Basak thread, size #30. I had purchased some of this thread from Demet on ebay. (She is now on Esty) The thread is from Turkey and is wonderful to work with if you are comfortable with size #30.
