Crochet Lavender Bloom Doily – Beautiful Floral Doily Tutorial
Core Techniques Used: The project starts with a magic ring followed by double crochets and chain stitches to form the central rounds. From round 1 to 12, the number of double crochets increases progressively. Use chain separations and stitch spacing to give a growing, floral shape.
Petal and Loop Detailing
In later rounds, chain loops are added around the outer edge to begin shaping the petal outlines. This includes alternating 10-chain and 3-chain loops, joined with single crochets at specific points.
Petal Shaping with Back Post Double Crochet
Petal shapes are filled using 12 double crochets within the chain loops, then enhanced with back post double crochet (BPdc) and chain spacing to create a layered, dimensional look. This technique is repeated around the doily for consistency.
Finishing and Edge Refinement
The doily is finished with additional border rounds using back post double crochet and strategic color changes, giving it a defined and decorative look. A mustard yarn border adds contrast and polish.
How to Crochet Puff Stitch?
To create a puff stitch, begin by yarn over and inserting the hook into the specified stitch. Yarn over again and pull through a loop; you should have three loops on the hook.
Repeat this process of yarn over, inserting the hook, and pulling through a loop several times. It is usually three to five, until you have the desired number of loops on the hook.
Once you have accumulated the loops, yarn over and pull through all of them at once, securing the stitch with a chain stitch right afterward.
The puff stitch creates a raised, clustered effect that is perfect for adding a decorative touch to blankets, scarves, and other crochet items.
