Do you crochet with thread?

[Pixieglitter]

I love crocheting with thread, either #3 or #10, although I don't do it very much. It's not as difficult as you would think. I want to make a pretty large size doily for my round coffee table. The table is very wide, about 42 inches across, and I had a big piece of glass cut for it to protect the finish. I'd like to make a big doily to put under the glass.

Hi Shelley,
Wow! That's going to be some project!

Jean Marie, I won't make a doily large enough to cover my entire coffee table. I'd like to make one like 20 inches across so the rest of the wood shows.

Hi Pixieglitter,
That'll still be a big project.

I like to crochet with both. I do find yarn and larGerman hooks easier to use.

Hi Lissacc,
You did good on crocheting doll clothes. Did you do it without a pattern?

[Lissacc]

Thank you, no, I have a lot of the Barbie, and some Ken, crochet patterns. Mostly for the size 10 thread, a few of the sweaters used yarn. The patterns were, most of them, free, from web search or pintrest.

Hi, that is great! I remember my mother crocheting me doll clothes. She even sewed some. I have croched doll clothes for my granddaughter. I love doing it

Do you crochet with thread? Do you like to crochet with thread more than with yarn?

For me personally, crocheting with thread is more difficult mainly from using smaller hook sizes.

What has been your experience?

When I first started to crochet I started out with a steel size 10 hook and very small thread. I mostly work with yarn now, however I did just finish that baby dress and hat with thread that was a first for me. (the picture of that dress and hat is posted under pictures on this forum). I wish I could create the beautiful things (in small thread) that Larisa does but I don't have her skill or talent she is amazing.
My favorite crochet hook for yarn is a G and sometimes E.

I think that will be very pretty. The doily under glass will be protected and your wood table will be shown off beautifully.
