Crocheted Chunky Doily Throw Using My Doily Rug Pattern!
Araelia from Sydney, Australia sent me these photos of the crocheted doily throw she made using my giant crocheted doily rug pattern! Isn't it great? Truthfully, I made a baby blanket from this pattern as well, just never got around to photographing it, and the "rug" that I originally made actually works best as a giant doily on my dining room table. So even if you don't have any need for a crocheted rug, this pattern can be used to make giant doilies to use in so many ways!
Araelia is not the only reader to share her version of my rug, so do take a look at the links at the end of this post for some great inspiration from around the world, from Israel to Germany to South Africa to Australia!
Additionally, my crocheted doily rug pattern has been translated into Finnish, German and Hebrew, which has made me so very happy, especially since I'm really not a professional crochet pattern writer! Its quite a quick one to whip up, especially if you use t-shirt yarn as I originally did, and do check out all the comments from readers before you begin your own version.
Project Notes:
- Finished Size: 80cm diameter, extra rows were added to the pattern, as suggested, to increase the diameter. Araelia said next time she'd make it a bit bigger, and I agree, a throw to put over the couch or at the end of the bed would probably work more nicely in a larger size.
- Hook size: 8mm
- Yarn: Bulky 100g/85meters ( 93 yards/3.53oz) This is Moda Vera "Elanna" 50% cotton/50% acrylic
