A knitted doily can make a striking accent for a contemporary room, gracefully blending a touch of yesterday with the look of today. Decades ago, knitted doilies were just as popular as crocheted ones, and this collection ensures that knitters won't feel deprived of lace-making projects. These seven designs by Rita Weiss show how lacy and elegant knitted doilies can be, to use as a work of art on a table or dramatically framed on a wall. All made using bedspread weight cotton thread, the designs include A Circle of Diamonds (adapted from an 1884 pattern), Springtime Leaves, Lacy Petals, Doily Garden, Elegant Whirly-Gig, Shining Starlight, and Victorian Splendor. Four doilies can be made with or without their sewn-on borders.

Delicate details and pleasing patterns make this trio of doilies truly charming. But don't let their lighter-than-air appearance fool you! Because they're knitted, you get a denser fabric than you would with crochet. That means these doilies need only a minimum of starch to help them hold their shape. Knit the Shasta Daisy, Dahlia, and Heliotrope doilies using bedspread weight cotton thread in your choice of colors; then get ready to hear lots of compliments on your lacy, lovely creations.
