Description

Last updated on January 18th, 2023 at 05:32 am

That turquoise, green and gold “mini square” dress is to die for, imho!  This 36-page booklet contains about 11 or so assorted crochet and knitting patterns.  There’s no copyright date anywhere in the book; I have dated it to most likely from about 1963 to 1968.  The patterns use vintage “knitting worsted” and “Aunt Lydia’s Rug Yarn”; modern worsted weight (medium 4) and rug yarn/bulky yarn should be a good equivalency.  Overall, these patterns read in such a way you should have no problems understanding them in a modern context.  Although this book is purportedly a learn-how/beginner’s crochet book and the patterns are overall easy, I do think some of these patterns might be challenging for a beginner.

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.

WPI: 8 to 9 - Knit gauge: 18 to 20 stitches per 4"/10cm

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."

WPI: 7 - Knit gauge: 14-15 stitches per 4"/10cm
For some vintage patterns, this is a reasonable equivalent to "rug yarn."
