Hey @tinybowties did you make that crochet thing over the cat? It’s pretty

Yes I did! Here it is completed (plus bonus doggo, Westley)

It was my first big crochet project and a lot of fun to make!

Ooooooohh I love it!! And I love the doggo too! ^_^ What’s the pattern?

It's the Comet's Tail doily (pattern S-758, pp. 12-13) from Coats & Clark's Book No. 315: Placemats and Doilies in the Contemporary Manner, published in 1955. I downloaded a copy from the antiquepatternlibrary.org; they have a ton of really nice old crafting publications that are in the public domain now.

The original pattern calls for size 30 crochet cotton and a 1mm hook (approximately), but I used Lily Sugar'n'Cream cotton yarn with a 5mm hook because it's what I happened to have on hand and this was just an excuse to practice crochet stitches & get a pretty object out of the process.
