How to 15" Crochet Thread Doily + Tutorial

Crochet a thread doily with the Study of Rage Crochet Doily. This consists of 36 rounds and with thread, will make a 15" diameter doily.

Juliana Meilton crocheted this version to see how a large-size lapghan blanket will turn into a doily.

The name of this series was generated through the raw emotion of being very upset and couldn't focus. Filled with rage, Mikey channelled his anger into a design and stayed offline to bring himself back in balance. The original was designed and crocheted on the same day. He was that upset. From. The rage emerged beauty in the end.

The original was the Study of Rage Lapghan version using Red Heart Super Saver Brushed yarn. The original was 38" in diameter. Designed for a lapghan format with medium #4 worsted yarn.
