Cordi was always an after-thought pattern of Lace Love. It was more like a bonus. Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I thought it would be a nice to time to share the pattern with everyone. They’re lovely little brooches that you can make to adorn gifts or cards.
There are two mistakes in the original pattern, but I’ve changed them, so this should be smooth sailing!
You need: approximately 8 yards of crochet thread (I use DMC Perle Cotton 8), 1.75mm crochet hook, and a needle to weave in your ends.
Finished size is approximately 2” in diameter. The piece should be about 0.75” after round 2.
Special Stitches:
Beg-POP (beginning popcorn): Ch 3, work 3 DC into the same stitch. Drop the loop from your hook and insert it from front to back into the top
of the beg Ch-3. Grab the dropped loop with your hook and pull it through the stitch to complete.
POP (popcorn): Work 4 DC into the same stitch. Drop the loop from your hook and insert it from front to back into the first DC of the group. Grab the dropped loop with your hook and pull it through the stitch to complete.

[…] The other night, while fittingly watching Agatha Christie’s Poirot, I made a couple of dainty doily brooches. I used a 1.75mm crochet hook and Anchor embroidery thread in duck egg blue and cream. The pattern is from Goodknits, one of my favourite blogs. You can find the pattern here. […]
thank you for this pattern. i like to dress within the feminine time periods. this will ba a nice addition. i am also going to make a few for my mother for mother’s day this year !
I have made several of these tiny doilies. I plan to use them to decorate the upper edge of my denim tote bag that I use to carry my crochet supplies. They are so cute! I have used size 3 & 5 embroidery floss and size 10 thread so tbat my tiny doilies are not all the same size.
