Harry Potter Crochet: Umbridge's Doily

Professor Umbridge may be a perfectly detestable teacher, but her pink heart-shaped doilies are adorable. Inspired by the Hogwarts professor's love of pink, these doilies are quick and easy to make, and can also be done in a larger yarn as coasters.

As a special surprise, try whipping one up for your valentine this February 14th!

Materials:

Hook size:

9 (1.40mm)

Yarn:
