Amazing Crochet Doily Motif

I will explain every stitch, where to insert the hook, and how many stitches per round.

If you want, I can also draw you a chart diagram.


๐ŸŒผ Very Detailed Crochet Doily Motif Tutorial (English)

Thread: Fine cotton
Hook: 1.25โ€“1.75 mm


โญ Round 1 โ€“ Make the center

  1. Chain 6.
  2. Join the first chain with a slip stitch โ†’ you have a little ring.
  3. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
  4. Work 17 more double crochets into the ring.
    • Insert the hook into the center hole each time.
    • Total stitches = 18 DC.
  5. Join with slip stitch to top of chain 3.

โœ” Center circle is complete.


โญ Round 2 โ€“ Make 18 loops around

  1. Chain 1.
  2. In the next stitch:
    • 1 single crochet (SC)
    • Chain 3
  3. Repeat the same in every stitch:
    โ†’ (1 SC in next stitch, chain 3) ร— 18 times.
  4. Slip stitch to the first SC to close.

โœ” You now have 18 chain-3 loops all around.


โญ Round 3 โ€“ Start making the inner flower shape

You will work inside each chain-3 loop, not into stitches.

In each loop:

  1. 1 SC
  2. Chain 5
  3. 1 SC

Do this in all 18 loops.

โœ” Now you have 18 long loops (chain-5 loops).


โญ Round 4 โ€“ Fill each chain-5 loop to make petals

In each loop, work these stitches in order:

  1. 1 single crochet (SC)
  2. 1 half double crochet (HDC)
  3. 3 double crochet (DC, DC, DC)
  4. 1 half double crochet (HDC)
  5. 1 single crochet (SC)

Repeat in all 18 loops.

โœ” You now have 18 complete petals.


โญ Round 5 โ€“ Mesh round (spacing for next fan layer)

  1. Chain 5
    • counts as (1 DC + chain 2)
  2. Skip 3 stitches,
    DC in the next stitch, chain 2
  3. Repeat all the way around:
    โ†’ (Skip 3 stitches, DC, chain 2)
  4. Join with slip stitch to 3rd chain of beginning chain-5.

โœ” You now have evenly spaced DC + chain-2 gaps.


โญ Round 6 โ€“ Build base for the outer fans

In every chain-2 space, work:

  1. 1 single crochet
  2. Chain 5
  3. 1 single crochet

Repeat this around.

โญ Round 7 โ€“ Crochet the large fans

In each chain-5 loop:

  1. 1 SC
  2. 1 HDC
  3. 5 DC (this creates the large rounded shape)
  4. 1 HDC
  5. 1 SC

Repeat in every loop.

โœ” Now you have large fan shapes forming the outer circle.


โญ Round 8 โ€“ Picot edging (decorative border)
