Crochet Shell Stitch Round Doily

"This crochet shell stitch round doily is an easy way to create handmade items for your home decor. In an afternoon, make a lovely accent piece that is unique to your color scheme. Using less than three small skeins of cotton yarn and in just an afternoon of time; make a lovely doily. Today, I used a variegated lighter colored yarn with the green and brown yarns as an accent color. These earth tone yarns compliment each other well. I was debating how to complete the doily – with or without an accent color."
