Red Christmas Doily

Pattern Info

Pattern info for this project can be found here:
Doily with spiral »

Instructions

One important note is that you have to knit all double YOs with a k1p1. That's not specified in the instructions.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Cute, Romantic, Traditional, Retro / Vintage, Holiday, Whimsical


Materials

Stroll sock yarn from KnitPicks

What was your inspiration?

The color of the yarn. I purchased it without a project in mind and had it in my stash. I came across the pattern and thought it would make a great Christmas decor for my table.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that after trying a few times to knit the edging following the instructions and stitches didn't line up, I realized that you have to knit the double YOs with k1p1. It was just knitters intuition.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It is an easy knit if you have all the information as stated above.

Gorgeous doily! I crochet doilies and have done some like this, but I've never seen a knitted one. Makes me wish I could knit!
