Free Knitting Doily Patterns

Using free doily knitting patterns can become an obsession even for those that have never attempted to make a doily before, simply because they are such a departure from many other knitting projects. Doilies are generally artful, delicate and instantly add an injection of old-school style and class into any home, not to mention that they can usually be easily worked into any home decorating theme. Below are some of the prettier free doily knitting pattern that I've come across recently - some are vintage knitting patterns while others are considerably more modern. A few of these knitting patterns are by design directed to those with strong knitting skills and a couple can be completed by beginners, so make certain to choose a pattern wisely before starting.
