Book Excerpt:

Doilies are one of the niceties of homemaking, on bread trays, cake dishes, invalid trays, on occasional tables, under delicate china or small coffee cups, they always contribute their own brand of daintiness.

Make doilies singly or as luncheon sets, for the nice thing about them is the ease with which they're made. A novice in the art of the crochet hook can learn her first lesson fashioning a useful doily... a past master at crocheting can work up the more elaborate ideas to display her skill.
