Rnd 2: Join Color B with sc in first ch-3 sp, 3 sc in same ch-3 sp as joining, 4 sc in each remaining ch-3 sp around, join with sl st in first sc. (24 sc made)

Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in first st, ch 20, skip next st, (sc in next st, ch 20, skip next st) around, join with sl st in first sc. (12 ch-20 sps made)

Rnd 4: Sl st in each of first 3 chs of first ch-20, (ch 3, 11 dc, ch 2, 12 dc) in first ch-20 sp, (12 dc, ch 2, 12 dc) in each ch-20 sp around, join with sl st in top of ch-3. Fasten off.

Rnd 5: Join Color A with sl st in first st, ch 3, dc in each dc around with (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in each ch-2 sp, join with sl st in top of ch-3. Fasten off.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will notice that the 12 ‘points’ of the Pinwheel have a natural tendency to twist. In the following round, you will twist each point and work into the ch-3 sp at the center top of the point. The wrong side of the stitches on the previous 2 rounds will be facing you as you work Rnd 8. Make sure that you twist each point in the same direction! Also be sure to twist the first point into the proper position before joining.

Working the Eyelet spaces of Rnd 8. Notice that I picked up the wrong hook when I took this photo; this is a size 5, but I actually used a size 7 to make the doily. You will twist the first point into position before joining at the end of Rnd 8.

Rnd 9: Sl st into first eyelet sp, (ch 5, dc) in first eyelet sp (beginning Vst made), Vst (see Special Stitches) in each eyelet sp around, join with sl st in 3^rd ch of ch-5. Fasten off. (48 Vsts made)

Trick or Treat Doily: A Free Crochet Pattern For You

Several years ago I designed the Trick or Treat Doily as the gift pattern that came with the purchase of my Stella Luna Doily. It was not the design I had originally planned to create, but my first  idea just didn't want to work out for me.  After almost a week of frustration, I finally gave up on it and started a new design. The second doily seemed to flow easily, and Trick or Treat was born. You can read about how it came to be here:
The Doily That Got Away

But when the patterns were released, much to my surprise, Trick or Treat began to take on a life of its own, and was actually much more popular than Stella Luna. People began to ask if I would sell it as a single pattern, and it quickly became one of my best sellers. 

Today, I am pleased to offer it to you as a free pattern.
I hope you will find it a 'treat' and not a 'trick' to create!

Finishing

1: For Hair, cut 60 strands of Hair Color thread, each 6” long. Wrap a separate strand of thread around center of all strands and tie securely. Fold top portion of strands down over tie. Arrange and shape upper portion of strands to cover lower portion. When you have the desired shape, glue to head of Witch. When glue dries, trim ends of all strands evenly if desired (see photos.)

These photos are from my Littlest  Angels  pattern, but the hair for the Witches is made exactly the same way (Guess who was too lazy to do another set of photos?) 

2: Insert Sleeves through Arm Openings on Witch. Insert 3” piece of chenille stem into Sleeves. Place one hand on each end of chenille stem, tucking ends of Hands inside openings of Sleeves.

3: To assemble Pumpkins, break 1” pieces from ends of toothpick. Paint about ½” at broken end with brown craft paint and allow to dry.

Insert pointed end of toothpick into center of Rnd 1 of Pumpkin.

Glue one Pumpkin Leaf to stem. Allow to dry.       

4: Place Hat on Witch’s head and glue in place if desired. Shape Witches arms as desired.
