Our Favorite Doilies Vol. I

Our Favorite Doilies Vol. I (American School of Needlework #1266)

There’s something so calming about doily crochet—those steady repeats, the gentle rhythm of threadwork, and the moment a piece transforms after blocking into crisp, lacey beauty. Our Favorite Doilies Vol. I is one of those booklets that feels like a little “lace library” you’ll reach for whenever you want a project that’s both relaxing to make and stunning to display.

Designed by Delsie Rhoades for American School of Needlework, this volume includes six doily designs—a lovely mix that gives you options whether you’re in the mood for something softly romantic, classic and timeless, or a bit more statement-making once it’s finished and blocked.

Why doily patterns never go out of style

Doilies aren’t just “old-fashioned”—they’re timeless. A well-made doily has that heirloom presence that instantly elevates a space: on a side table, under a lamp, as a centerpiece foundation, or layered on a tray. And they’re one of my favorite kinds of projects because you can match the time commitment to your season of life—stitch a smaller piece for a quick win, or savor the process of a more intricate design when you want a longer, meditative make.

This booklet is especially enjoyable if you like having a few options ready to go. With six designs in one place, you can:

• Stitch one as a showpiece for a table or dresser
• Create a coordinated set in matching thread for a curated look
• Make heirloom gifts for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, or “just because”
• Use it as a thread crochet reset between larger projects

Making thread crochet feel fresh and current

Want a modern look while keeping the vintage lace charm? A few small choices make a big difference:

• Try a modern neutral: ecru, champagne, soft gray, or even a dusty blush can feel very current.
• Style with contrast: lace pops beautifully on wood, a darker tray, or layered over linen.
• Think “small luxury”: a doily under a candle, vase, or bowl turns everyday décor into something special.
• Block like you mean it: thread crochet truly shines after blocking—openwork becomes crisp and the design “opens up.”
