Best Small Crochet Doily Pattern – The Sacred Window Doily

by strommercrafts / June 17, 2026

Hey everyone, today I have a small crochet doily pattern for you to make!

After messing around for quite some time, I’m finally happy with how the design for this one turned out.

I’m calling this doily, The Sacred Window Doily. Its design is based on those gorgeous cathedral windows. I think they are so timeless and beautiful!

It features a total of 12 rounds and would be perfect to place on an end table or under some small house decor.

I highly suggest blocking this doily so it lays nice and flat. I usually use just plain water, but you can make a starch solution if your want it to be stiff.
