I used one of my mother’s old doilies and as per usual, mine came out much bigger than the original. I used Aunt Lydia's Classic Crochet (Size 10) in white, which is fine, if you don’t mind having a big doily that is, if not, use a thinner thread.
The pattern is for sale on my Raverly for 2$ if you’d like to support me, but the pattern is also just below.
Enjoy!
