Flashback Friday Blue Doily

Posted on January 6, 2023January 5, 2023 by Leen

It’s time for another Flashback Friday! Today I want to share with you my very first doily pattern. I created this back in May of 2000 and can still remember how proud I was of myself when it was finished. There has been a lot of very positive feedback over the years on this doily and I’ve been told it’s a great pattern for new tatters to tackle.

Blue Doily

This is a simple but pretty little doily. Made in Cebelia crochet cotton size 30 it is approximately 6 1/2″. I consider this a work in progress because there is a part of me that thinks it’s just not quite finished yet.

Row 1

   Lrg R   4 – 4 — 4 – 4 rw (make middle picot long enough for 3 joins)

   Ch       5 – 5 rw

 *Sm R   3 + 3 – 3 rw (join to first picot of previous large ring)

   Ch       5 – 5 rw

   Lrg R   4 + 4 + 4 – 4 rw (first join to picot of previous small ring, second join to center picot of large ring)

    Ch       5 – 5 rw

Continue around from ” * ” until there are 4 Lrg and 4 Sm rings. Join to base of first ring and chain, cut and tie.

Row 2

  *R    5 – 5 rw

   Ch  6 + 6 rw (join to picot of previous row)

    R    5 – 5 rw

Continue around from ” * ” until there are 8 rings. Join to base of first ring and chain, cut and tie.

Row 3

* Ch   3 – 3 rw

   R    5 + 5 rw (join to same picot of pervious row)

   Ch   3 – 5 – 5 – 3 rw

   R    5 + 5 rw (join to next picot of previous row)

Continue around from ” * ” joining 2 rings to each picot of previous row. Join to base of first ring and chain, cut and tie.

Row 4

    R     3 – 3 + 3 – 3 rw (join to middle picot of long chain.)

 * Ch   5 – 5 – 5 rw

    R     3 – 3 + 3 – 3 rw (join to picot of small chain)

Continue around from ” * ” joining to previous row. Join to base of first ring and chain, cut and tie.

Row 5

  * R     5 + 5 rw (join to picot of previous row)

    Short Ch   4 – 4 rw

    R     5 + 5 rw (join to picot of previous row)

    Long Ch    4 – 4 – 4 rw

Continue around from ” * ” join to previous row. Join to base of first ring and chain, cut and tie.

Row 6

  * R    5 + 5 rw (join to picot of previous row)

    Ch  4 – 4 rw 

Continue around from ” * ” joining to previous row. Join to base of first ring and chain, cut and tie.


If you decide to give this doily a try, please let me know what you thought of the pattern and please share a picture with me so I can see your creation!  A little side note, I never did pick this pattern back up to add another row, so maybe in my mind it truly is finished.

I hope your week has been a good one and that you have some fun plans for the weekend. Please join me again next Friday for another tatting flashback!
