Irish Doily with 12 roses

12 Rose Irish Doily free pattern

After making the Irish Doily with 10 roses my mom has been experimenting and made this 12 rose Irish doily. She simply made the increases to the doily part at the center and it worked quite well. Check out the pattern for the 10 rose Irish doily and make the changes accordingly. My mom also made a 14 rose Irish doily in peach colour.

I have found so many beautiful free crochet patterns on the Net that I simply have to share them with you. This one is an Irish Rose Crochet Doily and although the original pattern had 10 flowers all in one colour, my mom made them each in a different colour. Feel free to experiment and work in various colours to come up with a combination that you love or simply stick to one colour. Either way this rose doily looks super. If you like it, you can make it yourself; you can find the instructions for the pattern here.
