Autumn Leaves Square Doily
This free tatting doily pattern is designed to be simple, structured and efficient to work.
The construction is based on two main parts:
a central square made of split rings
a leaf edging worked around it
The entire design is planned to minimise cutting and restarting threads. You only need to cut the thread once when moving from the centre to the edging.
Why this pattern works well
✔️ Continuous workflow – no constant stopping and restarting
✔️ Only one thread cut required
✔️ Clear, repeatable structure
✔️ Easy to scale to different sizes
✔️ Balanced combination of structure (square) and detail (leaf edging)
