We have a large number of very pretty patterns on the Vintage Visage website for doilies. On this post we are gong to show you some of the lovely victorian doily patterns available- they are over 100 hundred years old and are so very pretty.....
You can make them in the original white fine yarns to make beautiful tea time table accessories, or you could make them slightly bigger by using maybe a 2 ly yarn and having doilies for the bigger cake or sandwich plates on the tea table- try using lots of different pastel colours too.....
This one has a linen centre and pretty little crochet butterflies that can be made on their own and scattered around the table- try making them in lots of bright colours, and also make them into pins ad brooches- soo pretty...
Another one with a linen centre and this time little carnation flowers which again can be made on their own and scattered around the table or used as pins or brooches...
This one has a cockle shell design and lovely pointy edges...
This diamond design doily is a little more complicated to make, but is lovely,
With this doily design, you could make the circular design on its own with thicker yarn, make it twice and then sew the 2 together with an opening at the top to make a pretty little bag
This design is called a 'Manx' design as it has the familiar 3 part design reminiscent of the Isle of Man 3 leg logo
This one is not to difficult to make - when you get past the pattern part then it is mainly chains and loops- which are nice and simple to do. This one you could find would also drape nicely over the top of a milk jug or sugar bowl to protect the content from flies and other wee beasty insects! Which would be another pretty addition to your vintage tea table
