Oblong Fan Doily Crochet Pattern Martha Madison E-1016

Oblong Centerpiece: This pattern gives directions to crochet the oval centerpiece pictured. The official description: "This pattern may be used to make matching pieces of lace, once the method of making and joining medallions is understood -- the fan-edging being easily adapted to any number of them. For instance, two medallions might be joined to make a Chair-Back, a single medallion for the Arm Rest; four might be joined to make a Square centerpiece; four (lengthwise) to make a Scarf, etc".

This is a Mail Order pattern, purchased through newspapers. The pattern was marketed by Needlework Bureau as E-1016 well as Martha Madison.  "Beautiful medallions are crocheted, joined and finished with a lacy fan edging to make this effective scarf for a table"

• About 450 yds Mercerized Crochet Cotton #20.
