Spring Plum Bloom Doily

This pattern includes both written instructions in US terminology and a Japanese-style chart. This delicate, lacy doily is crocheted with "Hitoe-ume" (Single-Layer Plum Blossom), a naturally dyed yarn that captures the soft, poetic hues of traditional Japan. The design features abundant puff stitches, creating a beautiful textured look. As you crochet from the center outward, you will watch the petals unfurl layer by layer, mimicking a plum blossom opening its heart to the spring. With a versatile diameter of approximately 15.5 cm (6.1 inches), it is neither too big nor too small—the perfect size to adorn your favorite tabletop or to use as an elegant coaster. It is also a wonderful quick-knit (quick-crochet) project to enjoy with your stash or leftover yarn. Finished Size: Approx. 15.5 cm (6.1 inches) in diameter.
