A Flower Doily or Dishcloth
Use this pattern to make a crochet flower doily or dishcloth. It is shown here in a worsted weight cotton yarn, but you could also use a thread for a small coaster or a dainty doily.
This is the perfect sized doily to decorate your tables around the home. And if you don’t mind the open stitches you can also use this as a flower doily dishcloth pattern. Either way, it’s a nice gift idea for those who don’t crochet.
The design features a cross in the middle with a flowery design around it. It’s great for Easter or for year-round use.
