Beautiful Crochet Doily Pattern – Crosswind Lace Doily

by strommercrafts / July 26, 2026

Hello everyone, today I have a new, beautiful crochet doily pattern for you to try; The Crosswind Lace Doily!

This doily is based off of the Crosswind Lace Pattern a made a little while ago. I loved the lacy stitch pattern so much I want to try making a doily version of it.

This doily has a really pretty center, then opens up with an airy, lacy middle, and finishes with a simple round edge. The X stitches in the center and outer edge give the doily its name, plus they look really neat!

With only 19 Rounds to complete this doily, I hope you all enjoy!

Blocking The Crosswind Lace Doily:

I suggest blocking this doily once you are finished.

To block your doily:

Get a bowl and fill it with water
Soak your doily in the water (you might have to pushed the doily down as it tends to want to float)
After a minute or two, place your doily on a dry towel and gently pat it to get out excess water
Using a blocking board or cardboard (you may need to get a mixing bowl and trace around it with a pen as a guide), pin your doily by gently stretching it into the desired shape.
Allow to air dry for 24-48 hours or until dry.

I hope you all enjoyed the Crosswind Lace Doily Pattern! Until next time.
