T-shirt doily




Been crocheting a doily out of an old t-shirt this very rainy bank holiday monday. I guess I can use it as a trivet when I am done with it.

    I like the smooth result, and that's very regular :)

    I've never seen anyone crochet so neatly from scraps. Grattis!

    p.s. Your succulent is lovely. x

    Lovely result :)
    I would like to test this kind of crocheting for making a little carpet but it's not so easily to do it with a big crochet.

    regular and tightly crochet, for me the two keys for good looking and lasting results :)

    Tack Jessica. I am also pleased with my succulent succulent. Babies keep popping up and I am not sure what to do with them - replant them or let them be?

    Christelle it is quick to crochet with a big hook but it does require you have got strong hands. I was thinking that it would become a little mat in the beginning but have run out of t-shirt so a trivet it is. :l

    Séverine as always I agree with you. :)

    The idea is so cute... (the parallel with the plant !)

    Pascale glad that you highlighted the relevance of the succulent. Your mind works like mine.

    Ameskeria I think you can buy t-shirt material wool in the shops but it is a lot cheaper to just cut up an old one. This was my former gym t-shirt. Yes, I did wash it before I cut it up. :)
