🌸 AUSSIE FLORA DOILIES — CROCHET PATTERNS VOL 1 🌸
Waratah · Golden Wattle · Banksia
Three classic thread-crochet doilies inspired by the Australian bush flowers we love most — all worked in timeless white or cream size 10 cotton with a 1.50 mm steel hook. This is heirloom Aussie lace for real tables: under the vase, under the teapot, or dressing up a sideboard for Sunday visitors.
Each doily is a genuinely different construction — not one pattern in three sizes:
🌺 WARATAH DOILY — about 30 cm across, 27 rounds
A cluster medallion that opens into two tiers of layered petal fans, like the waratah bloom itself, then settles into openwork arcs and shells and finishes with a picot scallop edge.
🌼 GOLDEN WATTLE DOILY — about 25 cm across, 23 rounds
A pom-pom field of puff stitches and bobbles for the wattle flower head, ringed with openwork rounds and a plain shell scallop edge. All texture, no fuss — the bobbles do the talking.
🍃 BANKSIA DOILY — oval, about 28 x 24 cm, 21 rounds
An oval built on a chain foundation the way old Australian table ovals were made. Spike stitches worked two rounds down give the long centre its dense, cone-like grain, and the edge finishes in 24 leaf points, each tipped with a picot.

SKILL LEVEL: Confident intermediate — you should be comfortable working in the round and reading stitch counts. Every count is checked, so if a round doesn’t sit right, your bracket count will tell you where.
YOU’LL NEED: Size 10 crochet cotton (white or cream), 1.50 mm steel crochet hook, yarn needle, pins and a blocking surface. Fabric stiffener is optional.
A note on the flowers: our doilies are crocheted in classic white and cream thread — the traditional doily way. The waratah, wattle and banksia are in the shapes: the petals, the pom-poms and the spike.
