A quartet of acorns rests on a soft bed of leaves and diamonds in the center of this visually rich doily. A knitted-on lace edging forms an attractive saw-tooth edge. Despite its old-fashioned appearance, the doily plays daringly with traditional construction by rearranging the increases to work the doily first in 4 wedges and then in 12, rather than in the typical 8. The dramatic size makes it the perfect focal point for your kitchen or centerpiece for your next garden party.
