Hanabira Spring Picot Doily – Free Pattern with Japanese Stitch Chart

Hanabira Spring Picot Doily: Blooming Petals & Classical Elegance

The Hanabira Spring Picot Doily is a beautifully textured crochet piece inspired by the grace and gentle vitality of spring blossoms.

At the heart of the design lies a large, prominent floral motif, framed by carefully placed puff stitches that add striking dimension and tactile richness. The doily is finished with an airy picot border, lending a delicate, lace-like flourish to its outer edge.

Crocheted in naturally dyed spun silk using the shade Ominaeshi (女郎花)—a bright, tranquil greenish-yellow historically cherished as Omoigusa in ancient Japanese Waka poetry—this piece infuses any space with serene, poetic warmth. Measuring approximately 23.5 cm (9.3 inches) across, it makes an exquisite centerpiece for a side table, a dresser accent, or a thoughtful handmade gift.
