Round Ten-Point Star Medallion Pattern

These medallions make lovely decorations for bed linens, towels, luncheon sets, chair sets, and, if made of very fine thread, for handkerchiefs. For a medium size medallion, for bed linens, etc., use "Silkine" Crochet Cotton in size 30 with a No. 12 hook; for a finer medallion use size 50 with a No. 14 hook. For handkerchiefs use size 100, with a size 14 hook, crocheting very tightly. Gem Crochet Cotton is also lovely. For use with coarse linen, nothing is lovelier than De Luxe or Gem Ready-Shrunk Mercerized Cotton, and with these use a No. 7 hook.
