Small Beginner's Doily, Easy and Quick to Make

This small doily was one of my very first attempts at designing doilies and writing patterns. I made it back in 2013.

This is the photo of this doily from my old blog lacycrochet.blogspot.com

But now that I started my youtube channel, I wanted to film a video for it.

I’m also sharing my written pattern below.

Happy crocheting!
