Pansy Place Mat Pattern, Mail Order 452

Crochet Pansy Place Mat:   This pattern gives directions to crochet the mat shown. Pansy medallions are interesting to make, and very easily attached to the fans of the simple oblong doilies.   Crochet the mats in small or large size.  The small mat measures about 10" x 14" in size; the large one, 12" x 20".  Color suggestions are included for mat and pansy variations.

This is a Mail Order pattern, purchased through newspapers and catalogs.  This pattern was marketed as No. 452 in 1950 by Needlework Bureau.   

MATERIAL:   Mercerized Knit-Crochet Cotton (bedspread cotton) and a #9 steel crochet-hook.    About 200 yards will be needed to make each small mat needed, and 300 yards to make the larger mat for the center of the table. The small mat measures about 10" x 14" in size; the large one, 12" x 20" (if the above-mentioned thread and hook are used).
