Another pattern I managed to follow is a chart: a lovely doily from ravelry. I used to freehand crochet only, so it’s kind of an achievement.
Apparently I have a thing for doilies.

Ah I just got back into crocheting again and like you, I’ve only done freehand crocheting. I purchased a couple of patterns but the instructions seem like a foreign language to me! You’ve given me some hope! Pretty doily!
Indeed, this initial effort required to start reading a pattern seems huge (it took me several years!). I think the key is to start small – by choosing a project that wouldn’t be overwhelming.
So pretty
Thank you :)
Maybe doilies are coming back into fashion. My mother made very many.
Or maybe I’m a little old-fashioned myself :) I still have the doilies made by my mother several decades ago.
this is gorgeous!
thank you!

Abdolutely Amazing!! Such a beauty😍💜
😍💜Superb. It is stunning💜😍 Absolutely Love it! Woww
Thank you! :)
You are so talented! I’ve always admired handmade doilies, my grandmother could do them and I collect them where I can find them. My favorite one is about eight inches in diameter and has pansies around the perimeter. You could probably whip one up, no problem! To me, it is a total work of art!
Thank you for these kind words! I am actually a bit new to doilies and all the “flat” crocheted things, but I hope to improve my skills.
