Doily Tjörn 1

One night while traveling in Iceland, we stayed at a guest house.  During the showing around the house

by the host lady, I noticed she has many beautiful craft works including some doilies and coasters

displayed around the tables in different common rooms and our bed room.  There were a few simple

coasters displayed in our room.  They looked almost identical but with different thickness.

All of the sudden, I had the urge to duplicate that coaster.

To me, the most impressive one looked like crocheted with size 30 thin thread.

I decided to take a picture and studied the stitches when I got back home.

After we went home and settled down from the trip, I looked around my stash crochet thread, and

noticed that I do not have the thin thread like that coast but the classic size 10 crochet thread.

I understand with different yarn or thread can make the same product with different visual result. 

Nevertheless, it would be fun to figure out the stitches and make the same one.  I figure, if it is the

similar size, I can use it as a coaster.  Otherwise, it can be a cute doily.

So, I picked up the classic crochet thread size 10 with 1.5mm (#7) crochet hook and began my

self-challenge project.

It turned out not bad!

Because the size is a bit bigger than the original one I found, it can be a cute doily. 

To remember where I found this coaster, I name it “Doily Tjörn 1”
