Rare crochet pattern to make the 1950's imitation milk glass candy dish with a handle as shown in the photograph. This pattern is a partner pattern to the milk glass spiral vase and they were designed to add a touch of loveliness to living room decor in 1956.

Makes a great keepsake gift and a perfect baby or wedding shower table accent that you can fill with not just candy, but anything appropriate to the occasion. Make a special basket for Valentine's Day, Easter and more!

The candy basket is starched after crocheting is completed and then allowed to dry. Full instructions are given for starching. If desired, the dish can then be sprayed inside and out with plastic paint or, these days, probably polyurethane to make it waterproof.

Suggested MaterialsLily Double Quick Mercerized Crochet Cotton, Art. 50: 3 skeins White. Steel Crochet Hook Size No. 3 (2.10 mm). Heavy white millinery wire: 66 inches. (Optional: Clear plastic paint in a pressure can for waterproofing.)

No gauge is given and is not crucial (finished size of basket is also not given)It will be a matter of your playing with cotton crochet thread and hook size to result in the size candy dish you want.

Good, detailed pattern instructions.
