Golden Citrus Centerpiece Doily Crochet Pattern

Golden Citrus : This pattern contains directions for crocheting the doily shown. This is a large doily design at 19 or 21 inches, depending upon materials used. The pattern calls for yellow Mercerized Crochet Cotton -- thus the name Golden -- but use whatever color you desire. The motif here gives us a center ring, founded by two borders of petite pineapple and two rows of shells -- the final forming a most grand border. The pattern is vintage 1960s from American Thread.
