This doily is the combination of two things: (1) the center portion of a doily I found on the web and (2) my ending for it. It was made using #20 white thread with a #12 hook and measures 13 inches across. I may go back and make the doily from the entire pattern at a later date.
This doily was designed by Cille Heckenbach, a very talented lady with thread crochet. It's called "Pineapple Delight". The doily was made with #10 white thread and #10 pink thread (ThreadArt brand). It measures 13 1/2 inches across when made with a #8 hook.
I liked it so well that I made a 2nd one. I now have a pair!!!
Thank you Cille for sharing your pattern!
My husband liked the gold/white doily so much I had made a while ago and since that one went to a friend, he wanted me to make another one to keep. This is such a pretty pattern that would lend itself well to colors; made with #10 thread it measures 18 1/2 inches across. I'm seeing red/white/blue in one in the future.
This doily comes from a foreign magazine called Dekoratives Hakeln, the issue #72 and measures 17 inches across with #10 thread. It seems a little full on the outer edges and is trying to buckle. May need another stretching to smooth it out more.
I just love the pineapples ... they look as though they are in bloom.
The final piece is oblong and a pattern that I found on Picasa. Sorry, but I didn't mark the location where it was found. Made with #10 thread it measures 15 inches x 25 inches. This pattern would work well in multi colors also.
Happy EASTER to everyone!
