Old-Fashioned Doilies to Crochet

April 25, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

In the 1940s and 1950s, lacy crocheted doilies were at their peak in popularity. Frequently used to accent interior decor, these delicate cobwebs of finely worked threads could be made quickly and with little effort. Thread companies turned out thousands of inexpensive instruction booklets for needleworkers constantly looking for new ideas.

Today, renewed interest in hand-crocheted items has once again created a demand for these elegantly simple ? and simply elegant ? doilies.
