This design is part of the “April Showers Bring May Flowers” series, 2021. Crochet a pretty, lacy, floral doily that is perfect for scraps, and easy to adjust if you want a larger one, or make a bunch and sew together for a table runner.

Video tutorial included.

Some other ideas for this rectangle:

• Make 1 in cotton yarn for a doily or oversized coaster
• Make 1 in any fiber for a wall hanging
• Make several and sew together to create a tote bag, rug, blanket and so much more
• Experiment with different weight yarns to get different sizes for endless possibilities!

Yarn Notes:
Depending on the project you’ll be working with this rectangle, the yarn options can vary, but they’re practically endless. Feel to use your favorite worsted weight yarn, but I’ll provide some ideas for a couple projects:

For things like an afghan, scarf and shawl, acrylic yarn, like the Pound of Love I used, is a good choice. For a cozier option, go with a wool blend, like Lion Brand Wool Ease or Cascade Pacific. For a warm weather option, a cotton blend, like Berroco Modern Cotton or Lion Brand Made with Love are great choices.

For things like a doily, tote bag, washcloth or table runner, a 100% cotton yarn, like Circulo Natural Cotton Maxcolor 4/6, Queensland Coastal Cotton or Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton is what I would recommend. These are nice, durable options that wear and machine wash well and are also colorfast (not all cotton yarns are).

Time Spent:
About an hour.
