I think I first fell in love with crocheting back when I saw the beautiful crochet doilies that my grandmother had made. I still have and treasure them. This crochet doily pattern makes a mini version of a typical doily – depending on the size hook you use and the weight of the yarn, it will be roughly the right size to use as a coaster or mug rug.
Find the full crochet tutorial with step-by-step instructions below. You can make a bunch of these crochet doilies inexpensively and in very little time. They make great gifts!
