Doily Afghan
I finally got this one done. I had some trouble understanding the pattern at times. My sister helped me out some. I’m happy with it! Now I’m ready to try a different one!

The pattern is in the Doily Afghans book from Annie’s Chrochet. It says it measures 50” in diameter. There are 5 different patterns in the book. Originally Posted by Linda Proulx

It says it’s 50” in diameter. I thought it would be a little bigger. So I think next time I’d add some rounds to make it a little bigger. I have a king size bed so I’m sure that is why it looks smaller to me! Originally Posted by spoula

That sure is beautiful. Those little flowers plus the centre part are raised, aren't they - can't tell for sure. I don't know how to do that but I have some gorgeous oldish decorative potholders with raised flowers that my late mum's friend crocheted.
I started a "doily" but am using #2 weight acrylic + cotton yarn and a 3.75mm hook rather than the #10 Aunt Lydia thread they tell you to, where you use a steel hook. So, I think I am going to end up with an afghan instead. Oh, well. My plan is to use it to cover part of our v. old sofa.
