The Moogly Crochet Numbers. After last week’s successful debut of the Moogly Crochet Alphabet, it quickly became clear that I needed to make some crochet numbers to match!

The Moogly Crochet Numbers

So without further ado… The specific yarn weight and hook size doesn’t really matter for these, as long as you use a hook size a couple sizes smaller than you normally would for that yarn. The bigger you go, the bigger the crochet numbers, and vice versa. These crochet number appliques, made using the hook and yarn listed, were each around 3 1/2″ tall. Leave long tails at either end if you plan on sewing these to another piece of fabric!

The invention of the doily is credited to Mr. D'Oyley, a successful 17th century milliner. Mr. Doyle created and sold small fringed pieces of cloth to place under finger bowls, thus protecting the table from water marks. Doilies are still used today to protect the surfaces of furniture from scratches or stains, but they also offer a feminine style element to any room from the boudoir to the basement.

The Beeton Book of Needlework uses the word "D'Oyley" in all its crocheted doily patterns, but regardless of how you spell the name, the intricate designs in these doilies are clearly heirlooms in the making.
