what you will need:
I used Aspen decorative ribbon from Marshall’s for my finished Christmas doily and a 3.75mm crochet hook. The circumference measures 42″ after steam blocking. For the video tutorial, I used Paintbox Cotton Aran in the color Slate Green. The circumference measures 42″ before steam blocking. I used approximately 140 yds. You can adjust the size of your crochet doily by changing yarn weight and/or hook size, or by changing how many rounds you crochet. This crochet Christmas Doily would also be a great scrap yarn project!
