Charleston Garden Afghan - Vintage Crochet Pattern

The tatting pattern designers are always cited, though, so the design work there was treated with more respect than the signature topic the magazine was primarily covering. Darlene Polachic took over writing the tatting article in the Winter issue, and stayed until the end. She has done a lot of other work for Annie's Attic Inc. There are only a few misshapen toys scattered widely through the issues.

They are surprisingly rare for a crochet magazine. I've included an entry for this title in the Soft Toy and Doll Bib page only because there ARE a few patterns - but I would not recommend this title for those patterns. This magazine didn't have as wide circulation as some of the other popular crochet magazines.

A great shame, in my opinion, as it was the one crochet magazine that supported tatting the most after "Workbasket" ended in The last issue I have is for Autumn and there was no indication in it that it was going to be the last issue. So at the moment, I'm assuming it isn't the last issue, and I'm missing at least one.

Martha Ess was able to confirm that the Autumn issue was indeed the last issue. She had a subscription, and the remainder of it was fulfilled with another magazine. Thank you, Martha, for letting me put this one to bed. Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.

By definition, the snood comes in two types. It is either an ornamental hairnet or fabric bag worn over the hair at the back of the neck, or wide ring of knitted material that is worn as a hood or scarf. The second definition applies to more recent times, whereas the classic, or in this case, vintage term is the hairnet.

Although the crocheted snood has been around for centuries, they again gained popularity during World War II. Snoods are typically an easy crochet project that you can stitch up in just a day or two. The crochet snoods of the s, with just an exception here and there, were pretty much predictable. No - is a long hanging Snood with wide ribbon ties.

Sweet Sue is similar to No above, but with different thread and hook. Bow for a Beau, while still a basic snood, has a rather sophisticated flair, which just might be the result of a black, versus white, ribbon. And for fun Spool Cotton Company called this whimsical hat a snood as well. A snood, well no.

I'm add new patterns to the shop almost every day. If you'd like to see if more snoods I have to say, I love the word , have appeared, try this link. This book takes us back to , when the ladies were crocheting away while perhaps listening to the most popular songs 'Don't be Cruel', 'Hound Dog', or 'Blue Suede Shoes'. No, on second hand, who would be able to sit still with The King of Rock and Roll on the record player!

The leaflet is 32 pages and offers up 16 different patterns for our enjoyment.

There is something for all here - knit, crochet and tatting. A crochet fern center that radiates out to floral border. American Thread named this piece Swan.. These are a colorful affair that should have no problem finding a display point in many a home. This selection is a tatted lacy affair. Another variation of the always popular pansy motif.

This colorful bordered piece is 11 or 12 inches in diameter. A pretty flower center that fans out to a delightful shell border. A splendid Pineapple doily with wide shells and lace border. This doily, with Ivy type leaves and yellow flowers is centerpiece quality at 21 or 25 inches in diameter. A small set of pineapples, followed by those much larger, surrounded by mesh, culminate at 16 inches. Violets - Crochet with pink or purple flowers.

Golden Citrus - A grand display of pineapples and shells. It is quite glorious in yellow, but I have no doubt equally nice in any color of your choosing. Quil l - Four quadrangles of pineapple motifs make up this pretty 13 or 14 inch doily. An interesting combination of pattern stitches with large scalloped edges. Starts and ends with pretty marigolds, with pineapples in between. A proud floral centerpiece doily at 21 or 22 inches. What do you think? The Sunburst design is my personal favorite of the offerings.

And, I think the flowers on the Ivy Doily could be adjusted to make marvelous trim. One of the things I keep a constant eye open typically Ebay are lots of loose pattern leaflets. As they are typically just stacks of paper, I never know what I'm actually going to get. It's kind of like buying a mystery box. It's also a gamble, the leaflets may, or may not, be public domain documents that I can use.

But, there are almost always grand surprises. The teacher would send for the packets and incorporate into their class instruction. The packet would include directions for a number of easy crochet items from which the students could choose. The teacher would choose the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for each class and send the items to Spool Cotton Co.

There they would be judged against other participating classes across the country and decisions made at to National, State and Class Winners. I have more of these Stitch in Time Newsletters in my 'pending' stack. They cover a wide variety of topics, however, and are not just contests. I've entered these patterns in my shop , should you be interested in having a look. I'll post more of the Stitch in Time leaflets as I come to them. I've heard that baskets have been in use all the way back to prehistoric man.

So, I have no doubt that includes the crocheted basket; which should date back to, at least, the 's. Which, is why it surprises me that I don't come across loads of crochet basket or planter patterns. I was thinking about this as I finished adding Alice Brooks to the shop. I went back in and did a search for all planter or basket patterns in the shop and they only items are all Mail Order Patterns. At first glance, it looks the same as Design above, but a closer look will show the pineapples are different. Laura Wheeler , Hanging Basket in parasol shape.

Laura Wheeler , Hanging Planter in two sizes. Alice Brooks - This crochet basket is similar to the Design above, but the scalloped pineapple edges are more prominent. Alice Brooks , Another Crochet Swan, similar to those above, but still, slight differences. I find it quite ironic that all the basket patterns are Mail Order Designs. Or, perhaps there are hundreds of others out there and, with the some or so patterns I've processed, just not happened across them.

From the Heirloom Needlework Guild, let me present Hiwatha Corde Hats and Bags - No 10, which sold for a five cents. This is more a leaflet than a pattern book, featuring just 5 patterns all using of course the Hiawatha Corde and Rayon Cords.

Charleston Garden Afghan Vintage Crochet Pattern

Victora - the picture hardly gives you an idea of this hat. Crocheted in herringbone stitch, netting is pleated in a small border at the edges and then forms long neck ties. The bag, a 'just right handbag - called Flower Basket - is lined. These bags are perfect for clutch or makeup bags. Classic Calot is worked in four sections and joined. Hair netting is added at the bottom for the look of drama -- inherent to many of these 's designs. All three of these pattern sets are lovely designs. The only difficulty will be finding suitable materials to replace the obsolete Hiawatha Corde.

Particularly with no gauge being given on the designs. A heavier cord, perhaps those used for macrame, would be suitable. My copy of this pattern set is in quite poor shape, however, am pleased that the restored patterns turned out so well! My new motto you know Preserving history, one pattern at a time.

I was just getting ready to add a new vintage Pansy Crochet Pattern to the shop, when I thought I'd better check to make sure it was not already there. Periodically, the same pattern may have been published in different books by the same brand, or sometimes even, different brands. This Pansy Doily design has a flower motif within the doily which, interestingly enough, is not pansy shaped. This crochet doily design is billed as a luncheon mat, but a doily it is. A quite nice pinwheel center, surrounded by an abundance of mesh and then, that charmingly colorful border.

It is worked in one solid color. As are all the Design patterns, the picture is in black and white, but the pansy border is brightly colored. This crochet doily, called Pansy Patch , has a bit of a twist in that the colorful border is attached to a plastic doily center. The New Pansy Doily, vintage 's has a pretty floral center and a scattering of implied flowers in mesh. And, of course, the grand border of Pansies.

This Pansy Doily is designed to be a bow l. Starch it quite nicely and place it in the front entry for your what-nots. This Pansy Doily has a elongated diamond center motif. It's officially billed as a ruffled doily, of which I'm not sure but, a grand design it is. The Diamond Pansy Crochet design is quite like the doily right above, with the colorful border and elongated diamonds.

But, look closely, and you'll notice the border that connects the border to the center is different. And this Pansy Doily was the one I started with. And yes, it has a number of similar elements All the pansy doilies currently in my shop seem to be coming from the 's and 's.
