Pattern Description:

Do you love carnations? I do, they are my favorite flower! That's what inspired me to create a set of small and large Carnation Bouquet Doilies! This is the smaller one of the two, measuring about 9 inches blocked and starched.

This is a doily with dimension! The carnations are designed to be life-size as though they were cut in half and laid upon the doily like a bouquet. While starching is not necessary, it will add even more to the dimensionality of the flowers.

The center of the doily uses a stitch I call "prong stitch," which is simply a variation on the single crochet. Complete instructions are included in the pattern, along with numerous photos of the project
