A traditional crochet doilie doesn’t have to look like something from your grandmother’s sideboard. In a modern setting, they look fresh, pretty and retro and equally at home with contemporary décor.

This project is made with just one ball of Anchor Artiste Mercer Crochet Cotton, and looks gorgeous with its intricate lace pattern contrasting with modern ceramics.

We’ve chosen a pale and interesting colour, but can imagine it in a bold pink or green too. Try it yourself – the result will be beautiful.
