This doily is my favorite. My mom made it for me several years ago. Actually, I wanted to crochet it myself. I remember I bought the crocheting booklet with the pattern and all the needed threads. Then I discovered that I couldn’t understand anything in the instructions whatsoever. An English-Russian dictionary didn’t help either.
Then my mom said she will give it a try. Of course, she didn’t understand anything in the instructions either, but she crocheted the doily just by looking at the photograph. I thought that was pretty impressive. My violet doily is not exactly the same as the one in the booklet, but it’s very close. And I like it very much.

What a pretty and charming pattern. I too love doilies and have some that my Grandmother had made so many decades ago. They just finish a piece of art on any surface. These that you have shared are beautiful.
Dearest Olga,
Your Mom did a great job by copying this crochet pattern from a photo only! Lovely with the violets.
