Filet Square Doily

Designed by Julie A. Bolduc

There are not very many filet doily patterns that are worked in the round but here is one I hope you enjoy. This doily would also be a great motif used in a table cloth or in a bedspread. It would be a long term project that you could take with you to make up the squares then sew them together when you have enough made.

Size 10 Crochet Cotton or bedspread weight cotton in desired color.
