The end result was a lovely 39 inch throw that just looks stunning and has received rave complements from everyone who has seen it. While this is marked an experienced pattern, it was really easy to follow and very well written. If you have experience with front and back post stitches, you should have no issues at all making this. What's is even better than one to die for pattern is a whole book of them! It is pretty rare to get a book where you want to make several of the patterns much less all of them, but this book will surprise you. There are seven patterns and all seven are stunning. There are round, oval, and even a square one! I will be making more, probably eventually all of them. The patterns are all for more experienced crocheters but as I said, they are written very well and easy to follow.
Have you ever made doilies? How was working with thread? Have you ever made a thread pattern with yarns? I'd love to hear about your experiments.

I learned to crochet because I was obsessed with doilies and my mother could not make them fast enough to suit me. I have crocheted hundreds and hundreds of them in sizes of thread from 3 to 50. I started knitting them as well and knit myself a throw out of worsted weight yarn. Whether some people think doilies are in style throughout the years matters not to me. I have loved them since I was a child and always will!
