Most doilies are completely flat, so that the glass will sit safely on them. This one is a bit three-dimensional, though, and not completely safe with a glass. I don't know, I'd have to try.<br /> If they are very large they can be used on the back of an armchair, to protect the upholstery from the oils on people's hair - they can be washed, whereas the upholstery cannot. This one is too small for that. <br />Sometimes they are just put there on their own, as decorations. I think this is the case for this one. <br />Another use would be as tree decoration, as a snowflake. For this you would have to make it with much thinner thread and crochet - only recommended if you are young or with very good eyes and always work in natural sunlight. <br />Some people use them mounted on a round frame (for instance an embroidery hoop) and hung as a wall decoration. <br /><br />Of course, you can join many of these to make a curtain. I would leave out the last round with the picots in that case, because when joining there will be super big gaps. Same if you make a bedspread. Unless you can find a little lacy motif to fill in the gaps with. You may join the hexagons point to point and fill the gap with a little square. <br />Hope this helped. <br />irmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942484295961743498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198615600708703293.post-5826364905064919112020-09-02T13:29:46.822-04:002020-09-02T13:29:46.822-04:00Saw your site for the first time, gorgeous crochet...Saw your site for the first time, gorgeous crocheting!

I put it down for a day or two, looked at the photo with a magnifying glass, then re-read the instructions. This time I had no problem understanding what to do.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing.

It states to "insert hook from front to back around next FPdc", so you should be working around the first FPdc and then repeat that section around the next FPdc instead of the same FPdc. I might add in "uses next 2 FPdc" just so it's less confusing. It's normal for your work to curl at Round 5 because of the dc stitches, and it should flatten out on it's own. You could also try going up a hook size to see if that helps. <br />I hope this helps you out and just let me know if you have any more questions! <br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Julia Draigunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911655798113439954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198615600708703293.post-51956607343797377112019-08-31T00:31:24.598-04:002019-08-31T00:31:24.598-04:00'FPDC decrease' is just like 'Dc2tog&#...'FPDC decrease' is just like 'Dc2tog' where you do two DC but convert them into one.

Would like to know...Hi, I am working on this doily. Would like to know if the explanation given for the FPDC Decrease is accurate. It says, <br />[yo, insert hook from front to back around next FPdc, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice, yo, draw through all 3 loops on hook.<br />We start with one loop on the hook, YO makes it two, pulling up a loop around one of the posts makes it 3. If we do the YO and pull through 2 loops twice, that makes it a FPDC, not a decrease. To make it a decrease, after the 1st 2 loop pull, I will need to YO, Front to Back,pull up a loop, pull through 2 loops. This will leave me with 3 loops on the hook. FPDC Decrease is done by pulling through all 3 remaining loops on the hook.<br />Please correct me if I am wrong. <br />Also, I am trying to work with a #20 thread. This is causing the doily to fold inwards into a bowl shape at Round 5. What am I doing wrong?<br />Looking forward to your advice.Lakshmi Vinayakrishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992769514191507618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198615600708703293.post-39589528536570248532019-08-29T09:55:28.918-04:002019-08-29T09:55:28.918-04:00Just made a baby one, so beautiful, perfect as a s...Just made a baby one, so beautiful, perfect as a snowflake style Christmas decoration.
