Candy Cane Round Place Mat Crochet Pattern

Candy Cane:   This pattern contains directions to crochet the placemat pictured.   Candy Cane, so obviously named for the sweet reddish pink and white circular motif measures 16 1/2 inches in diameter.    (one of the thread's is a metallic, giving it just a bit of glitz!).  Perfect for a girly girl, as well as children will enjoy following the circles (instead of eating).  The pattern is vintage 1950s from Coats and Clark.
