Halloween Doily

Happy Halloween! 

To make my Halloween doily I followed the vintage pattern, which is called Candy Dish Doily, but I used black and orange colors. The pattern is from Star Doily Book No. 120 by American Thread Company, 1955.

Sl st in next st, ch 6, d c in same space, ** ch 5, * d c in next loop keeping last loop of st on hook, repeat from * once, thread over and work off all loops at one time (d c cluster), ch 5, 3 d c in next shell, ch 5, d c cluster over next 2 loops, ch 5, shell in center d c of next d c group, repeat from ** 6 times, ch 5, d c cluster over next 2 loops, ch 5, 3 d c in next shell, ch 5, d c cluster over next 2 loops, ch 5, join in 3rd st of ch 6.
