Free Crochet Doily Patterns
A handsome centerpiece with crochet border Free crochet doily patterns: Including the border, which is eight inches wide, this centerpiece is thirty-eight inches in diameter, and very handsome for a between-meal cloth. The border may, of course, be added to a plain center, or the latter may have another design than that illustrated; but none could be more pleasing, since so rich and elaborate an effect is attained with little work. Madeira embroidery is used, with French knots filling the center of each alternate petal of the flower-forms. The solid work is well padded, the eyelets true to outline, and the entire treatment is satisfactory in the extreme.
