Crinoline Crochet

I made this little darling doily for a colleague who just retired. She just became a grandmother to a girl and a boy, so I wanted to do something nice for her.

The Belle was created using #10 cotton thread and a #8 steel hook. For the trim I used a variegated thread that has pink,blue,yellow,

purple and hints of green.

The pattern can be found in "Crinoline Ladies: 5 Designs by Soledad Davis".

I love making these little girls. So sweet!
