This is beautiful work - I like to do them on yarn and make shawls and table-cloths. Usually a 4ply on a 5 or 6US

Ruth on the GA coast said:This is a doily I knit for a friend of mine who lives in England. I knit it for a Christmas present for her because I noticed she had lots of little knick knacks on side tables in her home and I thought a little doily would look nice with some of her things. The pattern looks intimidating, but is actually very easy. I used magic loop throughout only because I didn't want to start out with just a couple of stitches on each dpn. The name of the pattern is Elfreida and it's from the book Old World Treasures by Gloria Penning. I used a cotton yarn that came with an old knitting basket I got from Ebay, so I don't even know the name of it.
