When knitting motifs/doilies most of the time you do not bind them off as you normally do. As regular bind off does not produce a beautiful finished edge.

However, if you do not know how to crochet, the question remains, now what?
In this article I will show you how to bind off with crochet hook and join the motifs as you go, so there is no sewing involved. In addition, I will show you how to work the same process without using a crochet hook and use your knitting needles to get the same effect.
