July 1954 Workbasket Magazine Vintage Leaf Mats - Finished

7/21/2019

0 Comments

 
I finished the leaf mats while traveling this month.  It was an easy pattern to follow and memorize.  It's done mostly in the back loop to get the ridged look of the leaves.

Here is the description Workbasket Magazine had for the leaf mats; “This set consist of four leaves approximately 11 ½ inches, 9 ½ inches and 7 ½ inches from point to end.  Three skeins of Bucilla Wonder-Knit and a steel crochet hook size 0 was used to make the set.” 
​ 
I did one in worsted weight and an E hook and a set in #10 thread with a 1.75mm hook.

The worsted weight version started out as the large leaf but I realized I was going to run out of thread so I started decreasing faster.   It’s 8 ¼ inches tall.   
​
Here’s the final version of that one with the medium thread one on top of it.

The thread versions turned out well. The large one is 5 ½ inches, the medium one is 4 ½ inches and the small ones are 3 ¾ inches.  The medium one is a good coaster size but I’m not sure what I’ll use the rest of them for.   Any ideas?

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.
