Mouse and Cheese Doily




This picture was originally made with beads (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/446911963039471269/.


I just loved how cute it is.  So I decided to give it a try using tapestry crochet with waistcoat stitches.


All crochet with waistcoat stitches except round 1 using single crochet stitches.


Since I have the tendency when making waistcoat stitches too tight, during the crochet process,

I have to constantly remind myself to “crochet loosely” to avoid any wrinkly appearance.


Additionally, the original final product was hexagon shaped.  I made this into the round shape.



Hook: 1.8mm


Thread:

Seven different colors #10 threads.


Final size:

6.25” in diameter after block.

I decided to make 1 single stitch at the ch-1 space.  I also added 1 single stitch with picot at the double stitch from the previous row except the LAST double stitch crocheting only with...

The materials I used were: Thread: Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread, Classic 10, Color myrtle green, 4 skeins Crochet hook: #7 (1.5mm) Finished size (after block): 43 inches wide x 28 inches height
