Crocheting or Tatting.
You can knit very elegant, sturdy items such as knit doilies, chair backings, socks, baby items, or even collars for dresses. However if you choose to knit with thread, you need to remember that you have to have the small size knitting needles. Sizes from 00 to 5 are the range for thread knitting.
Yes, corn starch can be used to stiffen doilies. To do this, mix corn starch with water to create a paste, then soak the doilies in the mixture or apply it with a brush. Afterward, shape the doilies as desired and allow them to dry completely, which will give them a firmer structure. This method is a simple and effective way to achieve a crisp finish for your doilies.
Modular knitting is a form of knitting that involves knitting small geometric shapes that are pieced together into a larger product. The most intriguing feature of modular knitting is perhaps the varying directions in which the stitches move and interweave with each other. Entrelac, another knitting method, is similar to modular knitting.
Double knitting is a form of knitting in which two fabrics are knitted simultaneously on one pair of needles.

There are a number of ways one can find out more information about doilies. Online sites such as Formstack and Thrifty Fun have information on doilies. One may also want to check out chain craft stores such as Michaels for more information.
Knitting is formed in one or a combination of two basic forms: flat or in the round. Flat knitting is typically done on straight needles and circular knitting is typically done on circular needles or double point needles. When people think of knitting in the round, typically they mean knitting a tube shape, such as a sock or hat. But it is also possible to knit actual circles instead of tubes, such as when one makes circular shawls, table cloths, or doilies. Whether knitting a tube or a flat circle, the technique is the same. The difference is that in tube knitting few if any increases or decreases are made and in knitting a flat circle increases must be made such that as the radius of the circle doubles the number of stitches on the needle also double. Mathematically, it looks like this: c = 2 * pi * r, where c is the circumference and r is the radius. The ratio of the circumference to the radius must always remain 2 * pi or the piece will not remain flat.
Women may wear doilies as a fashion statement or as part of traditional or cultural attire. In some cases, doilies can be incorporated into clothing or accessories to add texture and a vintage aesthetic. Additionally, doilies may hold sentimental value, representing family heritage or craftsmanship. Overall, their use can vary widely based on personal preference and cultural context.

According to wikipedia: ""Tricot is a special case of warp knitting, in which the yarn zigzags vertically, following a single column ("wale") of knitting, rather than a single row ("course"), as is customary. Tricot and its relatives are very resistant to runs, and are commonly used in lingerie."Tricot knitting is usually done with machines, and is used for track clothing, and bike shorts. This form of knitting is found in vintage knitting patterns, but is not much in favor for hand knitting.
