Variations for this crochet doily
Advanced crocheters can adapt this crochet pattern in a variety of ways:- Use crochet thread and a small hook for a smaller, more traditional crochet doily.
- Hold multiple strands of yarn together for a thicker crochet doily. You could also use T-shirt yarn and a larger hook, which would make a good doily rug.
- Change colors of yarn in each round to make the same doily with a completely different look.
