Christmas Poinsetta Doilies!

Along with the usual rush and clamour during the Christmas Season there was the urge to make those on my list a little signature crocheted Christmas cheer! So the inspiration came one day whilst looking upon my crocheted thread ornaments from years gone by hanging upon my tree...there I spotted a red poinsettia in thread amongst the threadie snowflake ones.  Then it came to me - I was going to be giving jug sized candles with a holiday scent - why not make that simple gift into a "scenterpiece"!
So I dug out the old pattern and began in earnest to make a yarn - not thread - doily for underneath each candle - 10 of them in all! I then made them in off white with green as well .  The yarn is worsted weight and has a sparkly thread running through it.
They were quick to work up - about an hour a piece and those who recieved them were delighted! After Christmas day into New Years I spotted several of these out on my friends kitchen and dining room tables with the candles on them!
The measure about 10 1/2 inches across.
