I am working from this pattern in the "Coats & Clarks Priscilla Doilies Book No. 111"
There are lots of pretty patterns in this book. Please check the rest of the album.

Corticelli Venetian Pattern Doily from 1918
I am working the "Venetian Pattern Doily" pictured to the right on this webpage.
Crochet Galore just finished a crochet along for the doily pictured on the left.
It will look like this when completed:
I have one ball of size 10 Coats & Clarks Opera thread which is discontinued and thought that this pattern would just use up this ball of thread. Using #6 hook.
Also, I had a really bad cold so did not want to work with fine thread while sneeezing all the time.
The #10 Opera thread is very soft and shiny with a nice twist. It's super easy, like working with yarn.
I've just started Round 10 and it's 6½" in diameter.
The only pattern problem I had so far was round 3. 80 Trebles are required to complete this round. The instructions as written result in less than 80. One must crochet trebles in the 14 loops and 14 trebles of Round two to total 80 trebles in round three. Once the pattern is complete, I will list any tweaks I made.
With a #6 hook, round nine (220 Trebles) came out too full - it was quite ripply. I frogged it and did it again with a size 5 hook and it came our just right, then switched back to #6 hook.

Queen Anne's Lace Doily in Progress
A friend of mine loves Queen Anne's Lace. She has a sentimental attachment from her childhood in Indiana.
So I am making a Queen Anne's Lace Doily for her birthday. Here it is completed through round 13:
This is how it will look when complete:
Worked with size 30 thread and a #10 hook it is 17 inches in diameter. I am using size 20 thread and a #9 hook, it will probably be about 20" when blocked. (My friend likes bigger doilies.)
This is an extremely easy pattern and rather repetitious. It only has a few stitches: chain, single and various trebles. It would be a great practice piece for someone who would like to try thread crochet and work with trebles. It is definitely not challenging work!
+ + + UPDATE + + +
To those who enquired about the pattern, it is posted at momsloveofcrochet.com.
I am not using that website for my pattern, I'm working from a photo of the pattern in a vintage booklet. I will search for this pattern in my collection and make a nice scan. (For the purists.) :-)
