Driftwood Rose Doily | Free Crochet Pattern
Oct
Inspired by weather-worn petals and soft coastal sunsets, the Driftwood Rose Doily Crochet Pattern blooms from the center outward like a flower opening to the sea breeze. Worked in simple, repeating rounds, this pattern transforms basic stitches into a lace-like mandala of texture and light. Crochet just the floral center for a delicate coaster or motif, or continue the mesh expansions to create a dramatic table topper, shawl, or wall hanging. The pattern adapts beautifully to a variety of yarn weights — try smooth cotton for crisp definition or soft worsted for a cozy heirloom feel. However you make it, the Driftwood Rose invites you to pause, breathe, and let each round unfold like waves upon the shore.

The floral center of the Driftwood Rose Doily is a little design adventure on its own! Crochet just the center for a sweet motif, coaster, or embellishment — or keep expanding the circular mesh to create something grand, like a round shawl, baby blanket, or throw. Worsted weight yarn makes a cozy, sturdy piece, while lighter yarns bring out an airy, lace-like elegance perfect for table linens or shawls.’
