This vintage book contains a complete guide to crochet, with instructions and patterns for items ranging from bags to blouses. With varying degrees of difficulty and a wealth of helpful tips, this volume is appropriate for all levels of skill, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "History of Crochet", "Threads and Hooks", "'Learn How' Steps for Basic Stitches", "Accessories that make Good Company", "Fashion Stars and Bags", "Blouses and Sweaters are Bright Topics", "Finish it Off with a Lovely Edging", "Hot Stuff...Pot Holder and Hot Plate Mats", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on crochet.
