Crochet scull doily

I recently switched jobs and my current job has day and night shifts but the night shifts are super boring so I can craft away.:grin:

Last night while โ€œworkingโ€ I made this doily/placemat.

I found the pattern diagram on pinterest.

Super cool! I have a couple spooky themed doily patterns saved. I think I need to bite the bullet and order some crochet thread!

I donโ€™t have a link. I saw online that it was a free pattern so I have a diagram.

Gorgeous! I love it. I love how doilies are so old-school and feminine but the juxtaposition of the skulls.

This is so cool and delicate! If someone made one in summer colors it would work perfect for the Summerween swap! If only I could crochet!

What kind of yarn / thread is that, @Sleepless-Ghost? And what thickness/ weight?

Thank you everyone for the kind words. It does look a little like something a goth granny would make :grin:

I have no idea about the thickness or weight. I never think about things like that and there is no label because I bought this yarn long time ago for a different project.

It looks like 2 ply and it has a metal thread coiling around it. I used a 1.25mm hook if that helps but I could have used 1mm because the yarn is so thin.
