Crocheted Lace Baskets (1984) is a charming collection of 7 beautiful thread crochet basket designs edited by Mary Thomas.

Each project is made with classic bedspread-weight crochet thread and a size 7 steel hook, then starched and blocked to hold its delicate shape. The designs range from dainty little baskets perfect for party favors or Christmas ornaments to larger, more elegant pieces ideal for flower girls, centerpieces, or home décor.
