I have a special treat for you today. A pattern for the mini doilies. The same one that was published in the Simply Crochet magazine - read about it here.
So with no further ado, roll up your sleeves and gather your hooks.
Pattern
requirements
Skill
level:
easy
Time:
5 - 10 minutes for 1 doily
Yarn and hook: For the main body (the motif)of
the mini doilies I used doubled embroidery floss to gain on density, but light
and medium cotton thread / crochet yarn can also be used. For the border I used
ecru crochet thread, size 30 (20 tex).
Use
a 1.9 mm (B1-E4) hook. However, if you use other sizes of yarn for this
project, you should consult the label of your yarn/thread because it always
gives information about recommended hook sizes.
Gauge:
not
important for this project.
Used terms: chain (ch), single crochet
(sc), slip stitch (sl st.).
Chain 5 and join to make ring.
Now this is important: DO NOT work into the ring!
Start crocheting right away in the 1st st.
That's how there won't be a hole in the middle.
Round 1:
Start by making 2 sc in the first stitch, and 2 sc in all
the remaining stitches (10).
Round 2:
2 sc all through the round (20)
Repeat this
round until you are satisfied with the size of the “doily”. End by making a sl
st. For my necklaces and bracelets I usually make doilies of 2 to 3 rounds before I make the
border.
The border
Insert ecru in the next stitch.
*Chain 3 and sc in next stitch*. Repeat from * to * until the
end. When you come to the last stitch make a slip stitch into the very first
stitch/ 3-chain you made.
This is the front...
... and the back. Neatly weave all ends.
Joining
To make this style of necklace (and any other you desire) you will need jump rings to join the doilies together. I marked the position of the jump rings for clearer understanding. When it is done, attach a chain to it.
For the bracelet, I usually use two jump rings to join them together lined up and add a small chain and adequate closure (usually a clasp).

If you decide to make them, I'd love to see them! Just drop me a note in the comments.
Enjoy your new jewelries!

Super pretty!
I am just learning to crochet and I would love to be able to make these! I will have my two crocheting girlfriends help me! thanks for the pattern!
Really pretty thanks or sharing the tutorial.
These are amazing, thanks for the wonderful tutorial Maya. Every time you show us something I feel inclined to try some crochet as well, but somehow it will have to wait and I simply content myself with looking at your lovely creations instead!

They are lovely. I like the necklaces with the four doilies. Very simple and sweet. Things for sharing! Best wishes, Tammy (P.S. as for the newscaster video, I hadn't seen it -- he probably though it was going to be worse. A 4.4 isn't really so bad I guess though I imagine any time the earth shakes it probably isn't such a good feeling :)
Wonderful as always! Love the idea that you take the little mini crochets and put them together to make a bracelet and necklace. Very creative! Thanks for sharing on your #simplybebetsy gallery!

I found you through craft gossip and am going to follow you now. I love the way you use crochet to make your shapes.
I've been crocheting since about 4th grade and it's nice to see a more creative uses for it. I make crochet brooches and hairclips from plastic bag yarn.
