Crochet Mandala Doily Earrings

Back in 2018, I did this post about my mandala doily earrings. In the post, I had mentioned my doily loop earrings I had made for my then 4 year old daughter, whom loved to wear these around the house and play dress up, back in 2011.

While making a lot of mandala doily earrings, Liz really wanted a pair of her own, and was willing to pierce her ears for them. I told her that she could not pierce her ears until she 7, if she still wanted to do it then, she could. On her 7th birthday, she pierced her ears.

In the mean time, I crocheted a loop onto a pair of small mandala doilies, and looped them over her ears.

They worked great worn this way. She would wear them for hours, dancing around the house with her big girl earrings.

The doily earrings were made by first making a small doily, then simply crocheting a large, ear size loop to hang the doily from. You want it to fit snug, but not tight, so best to measure before fastening off, and weaving ends.

This loop can then just be looped around a child's ear for light weight, grown up size, earring fun.

Little ones love them!

The ones below are a little bigger than hers, as well as they are stiffened. Though, I find stiffening is not necessary with slightly smaller mandala doily earring sizes, and so, these were the ONLY pair that I ever stiffened.

Because of the small size, mandala doily earrings are a great for a quick crochet gift, or last minute accessory, for grown-ups and children.

This picture is also from 2011 😅😂 Now you know why you do not see more pictures of me... I am not as photogenic as my baby girl, even when she is being silly, Liz is adorable.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, and happy crocheting!

Doily Rug

Crochet Doily Rugs

The always fun and useful crochet Doily RUG is a summertime favorite of mine.

Pictured above is a custom rug made based on a customers ideas, along with the a Willow blanket for her beautiful nursery. Photo courtesy of the customer.

Below and front is a rope rug made with Creative Jewish Mom's wonderful crochet rug pattern. To the back is Doily Designs Shells n Lace doily rug.

The first and original of my shells n lace doily rugs were very inspired by the beautiful design by Villa Varisksenmarja of Creative Jewish Mom. She was among the first, that I found, to share patterns for the doily rug craze in 2011. Her beautiful design had a big influence on my desire to create and crochet in the round, as well as my Shells n Lace rug pattern.

Instagram Flashback

Doily Designs Instagram Flashback

2011, My husband, and oldest daughter talked me into getting the Instagram app, and it was a blast sharing with my oldest daughter. Instagram was also one of the first places I started sharing my crochet. Etsy was were I ended finding most of my clients, so I found myself not using Instagram very much for years.

For me, it was not until the integration of mobile and desktop happened, around 2020, that I began to use Instagram once again. I remain somewhat of a minimal user, for whatever reason, usually technical.

Since the Doily Designs account only goes back to 2018, I started looking back at all the missed years, and having flashbacks.

So now that you are caught up 😅 back to why we are here, a walk down Doily Designs Instagram lane....

Doily Designs Instagram Flashback

2011 -2014

The rustic photos go with the theme. It starts with a snapshot of some of the first posts that I ever made on Instagram, obviously it was around Autumn. We just Love Fall.

The spiderweb, blue & black shawls, and the willow blanket, are made by me, but not by Doily Designs. I designed the rugs, earrings, a doily or 2, and the square blankets, and the art is mine 😅.

One more, and I will stop, this was my favorite, but it only ever got one like, so I never made it again, and that was that. They were my own design, but they were square, and I was all about the circles at the time, if you didn't notice. But hey, squares the new round. 😅

I saw these and I wonder why I didn't I make patterns available for any of these back then? Then I remember those cute little faces, and I have an 'oh, ya', moment. 👼💗

Follow the link, to catch up on the new Doily Designs Instagram page.

Thank you for stopping by and flashing back with me :)

Best wishes, and happy crocheting!

Diverse Stitch Watermelon Doily

The Diverse Stitch Doily Pattern has been so much fun, that I could not stop with just patriotic, red, white and blue colors. While creating the pattern, I found myself creating several different designs with a very similar pattern.

One of my personal favorites to emerge from the experiment was the Diverse Stitch Watermelon Doily Pattern, with its fun summertime look and feel.

Update; Summer 2024 brings an update to this fun Diverse Stitch Watermelon Doily Placemat 2.0 Pattern, with fun useful new stitches (find out more about new stitches here).

Diverse Stitch Doily

Diverse Stitches Doily

Different color combinations give this pattern lots of versatility.

Create placemat doilies in different colors to match your mood, or make sets to match the current Holiday.

Diverse and interesting stitches make this a fun and exciting project to crochet.

Mandala style doily works up quickly to make enough for a a large table setting in a relatively short time.

The design started as part of the Boho Granny American Flag Collection. Wanting to add Diverse Stitches to the name, and unable to stop with just red, white and blue here, I ended up with the Diverse Stitches Doily, pictured below in;

Ocean Waves, and Autumn Charm colors.
