Large Christmas ruffle doily. Easy crochet tutorial pattern instant download -- Olga Andrew Designs Pattern 081.

This is a step-by-step tutorial pattern for a hand crocheted large Christmas ruffle doily, which can be used also as a tea-cloth, coaster, place mat or hot bowl (plate) holder, table decoration. Excellent gift for Christmas and for any occasion.

The pattern can be made up with any yarn. The instructions have been tested on several types of yarn and thread. If you use a different yarn brand or type, use an average hook size between the smallest and largest on the yarn label. Variations and experimentations are unlimited!

The pattern includes detailed photos with instructions how to make it -- useful for beginners. This pattern uses only basic stitches, so beginners should have no problem with it. It is written in English using Standard US crochet terminology (with UK crochet terminology if necessary).

Skill level: easy (you only need basic crochet skills).

Materials you will need: 1) crochet yarn (I used Premium Acrylic DK yarn) red 300 g. 2) crochet hooks (I used hooks size 5 mm and 7 mm).

The approximate diameter of the crocheted doily is about 43 cm (about 16.9 inch), flat base diameter about 36 cm (about 14.1 inch). The size of the doily may vary depending on the type of yarn, hook size and how tightly you crochet.
