I have combined my three favorite design elements to create these 6 lovely doilies: lacy butterflies, Irish Roses and ever-popular, classic pineapples. It has been a labor of love, and took over a year to complete; I hope you like the results! Skill Level: Intermediate. This is a clearly written and easy to follow pattern, but intermediate level crochet knowledge is recommended. Instructions for special stitches are included. All items are made with size 10 cotton thread and a size 7 (1.65mm) steel hook.
