Crochet Petal Beauty Doily, Martha Madison 1150

Petal Beauty Doily:  This pattern gives directions to crochet the doily pictured.  A delightful all over petal design that starts in the middle and ends with petal points.   The finished doily falls in at a medium size - 12 inches in diameter. 

This is a Mail Order pattern purchased through newspapers and catalogs.  The pattern was marketed as Martha Madison 1150 in 1960.   It would have also been marketed under the same number of Needlework Bureau in the 1940's.  

Material: About 500 yards #30 Mercerized Crochet Cotton. Use a #10 steel crochet-hook. If this size of thread and hook are used, and the work done in even moderate tension, the resulting doily will measure about 12-inches in diameter.
