**Skill Lev­el and Mate­ri­als:** Before we dive into the stitch­es and pat­terns, let’s dis­cuss the skill lev­el required for this project. This Col­or­ful Petal Doily pat­tern is suit­able for begin­ners and experts alike. Depend­ing on your desired look, you can choose from var­i­ous yarn weights, such as cot­ton or dou­ble-knit yarn.

**Pat­tern Details:** The pat­tern con­sists of clas­sic cro­chet stitch­es like sin­gle cro­chet (sc), dou­ble cro­chet (dc), slip stitch (sl st), and more. You’ll cre­ate a base chain (ch) and work through rounds, incor­po­rat­ing dif­fer­ent stitch­es to achieve a del­i­cate, lace-like design. To start, you must make a slip knot and cre­ate the first chain (1st ch).

**Col­or Scheme and Yarn Choice:** Your choice of yarn col­or and type will sig­nif­i­cant­ly impact the fin­ished pro­duc­t’s look. Feel free to exper­i­ment with var­i­ous col­or schemes, as this doily offers an oppor­tu­ni­ty to be cre­ative. You can use cot­ton yarn for a clas­sic, del­i­cate look or dou­ble-knit yarn for an easy way to achieve a stun­ning result.

**Cro­chet Tech­niques:** Through­out this project, you’ll encounter stitch­es like the half shell, tre­ble cro­chet, and shell stitch, cre­at­ing the most com­mon doily shape. Par­tic­u­lar atten­tion should be giv­en to the chains (ch‑3 counts), as they form the foun­da­tion for your work.

I want­ed to make a pret­ty doily for my home, so I cre­at­ed this cro­chet petal doily. It mea­sures 10 inch­es by 10 inch­es and will look nice on my table. My plant will look nice on it!
