Workbasket Pattern List 1955-64

This is the third part of a list of tatting patterns which are found in the old "Workbasket" magazine which was edited for so many years by our own Myrtle Hamilton. It was sent to me by a tatter who did not know where the list originated. I want to thank the person who made this list available to all tatters. I know that it was a tatter because they carefully indicated those issues without tatting patterns and noted the type and location of the patterns in the issues that did.

Although it is not complete, it took a lot of time and effort to gather this information. From other notes and my own collection I have added the dates of some missing volumes where possible. Since I do not have a complete collection I would be grateful for any additional notes to add to the list.
