Hand-crocheted doilies are back in fashion, and this book is a new collection of 38 of the best-known and most-admired doily patterns from the heyday of hand-crocheted doilies. Containing instructions for making many different kinds of sizes of doilies, luncheon sets, console sets, runners and centerpieces, this book offers a wide and varied selection of some of the most popular doily patterns ever created.

Choose from such beautiful "heirloom" pieces as the Tulip doily, Irish Crochet, Caprice, Rose Bowl, Jewel, Pine Cone, Bread Tray, Waltz Tune, Butterfly Wings, Star Wheel, Roman Candle, Mauna Loa, Sundial, Sweetheart Corsage, Day Dream, King's Ransom, Vanity Fair, Star of India, and Flower Tile; the Pineapple luncheon set, Water Lily, Snowflake, and Castles-in-the-Air; the Wigwam console set, Petal, Classic, and Hospitality; the Grapevine runner, Sunflower, and Queen of the Gardens; the Baroque and Hawaiian Delight centerpieces; and more. Each pattern has complete instructions, a photograph of the finished article, and indications for amount of yarn, crochet hook and gauge.

Many crocheters have never lost their interest in hand-crocheted doilies - they just couldn't find the patterns. With this book you can stop looking for patterns and start making beautiful doilies for your dining tables, end tables, sideboards, and dressers. Newcomers to the art of lace crochet will find these doily patterns an excellent place to begin and a wonderful vehicle for creative expression.

Materials: Clark's O.N.T. or J. & P. Coats Pearl Cotton, size, 5, 1 ball each of Red and White.

Cut 2 circles of cardboard, each 1½ inches in diameter. Then cut a circle ¾ inch in diameter at center of each cardboard. Place one cardboard circle on top of the other. Cut 8 strands of Red, each about 4 yds. long. Draw one end of these strands through center of circle from back, pass them over outer edge and draw them through center of circle again. Continue in this manner until ⅓ of circle is covered. Cover remainder in same way, using White instead of Red (center of circle should be completely filled in). With sharp scissors, cut thread between the 2 cardboards, at outer edge. Cut 3 strands of Red, each about 15 inches long, and find center. Tie center of these strands tightly around strands between cardboard circles, thus leaving 2 equal lengths of 3 strands each, to be braided into a cord. Remove cardboards, and trim pompom evenly all around.

Materials: Clark's O.N.T. or J. & P. Coats Pearl Cotton, size 5, 2 balls each of Blue and Orange.

Pompom. Cut two circles of cardboard, each 2¼ inches in diameter. Then cut a circle 1 inch in diameter at center of each cardboard. Place one cardboard circle on top of the other. * Cut 12 strands of Blue, each about 4 yds. long. Draw one end of these strands through center of circle from back, pass them over outer edge and draw them through center of circle again. Continue in this manner until strands are used up. Repeat from * until center of circle is completely filled in. With sharp scissors, cut thread between the 2 cardboards, at outer edge. Cut 4 strands of Blue, each 1¼ yds. long, and find center. Tie center of these strands tightly around strands between cardboard circles, thus leaving 2 equal lengths of 4 strands each, to be twisted into cords. Remove cardboards and trim pompom evenly.

Cord. Twist one length of 4 strands tightly. Then, holding pompom securely in order to retain twist of first length, twist other length tightly in opposite direction. Knot twisted strands 1 inch from end, and run thumb firmly along both lengths, thus forming twisted cord.

Make another pompom same as this, using Orange.
