Description

Last updated on January 18th, 2023 at 05:27 am

This 44-page booklet contains 25 or so assorted crochet patterns.  There is no copyright date anywhere in the book; I have dated it to between 1967 and 1972 as the patterns mostly use vintage “Red Heart Wintuk” yarn (which was released in 1967), it has a 5-digit ZIP code (so after 1963) for Pattern Service’s address on the back, and the typography, pattern styles and terminology dates to around this time period.  There’s no publisher listed anywhere, either; this appears to be one of those pattern books one would mail order from a magazine or newspaper advertisement.  Vintage Red Heart Worsted, “Knit-Cro-Sheen”, “Speed-Cro-Sheen”, “mercerized crochet” in sizes 20 and 30, and “tatting crochet” yarns are also used in various patterns.  Two patterns use rug yarn.   Modern worsted weight yarns and crochet thread in sizes 10, 20 and 30 should be good equivalencies.  Overall, these patterns read in such a way you should have no problems understanding them in a modern context.  I would rate the patterns as mostly easy to moderate in difficulty.

This digital scan is a complete reproduction of the entire booklet.  Each page has been lightly cleaned up, but it has not been retyped or updated to current terminology and/or techniques.

THIS IS A SCANNED BOOK OF PATTERNS.

This book has NOT been retyped.  Should it be retyped by me in the future, you will automatically receive the updated version.  Should you have any issues with reading the text of the patterns, please let me know and I will adjust the scan as needed for you.

This listing is for the PDF file download only, NOT a finished product.

Note yarns labeled as "Aran" tend to be just a bit thicker than yarns labeled "Worsted," but yarns labeled "Worsted Aran" or "Aran Worsted" tend to be the same thickness as "Worsted."

For some vintage patterns, this is a reasonable equivalent to "rug yarn."
