New vintage pattern-dainty crochet baby bonnet

I got the first two patterns completed from the vintage magazines that my sisters found for me.

Dainty Crochet Baby Bonnet pattern from 1928

It is a pretty style with a medallion on the crown and flower medallions across the brim.

Dainty Crochet Baby Bonnet in Irish Crochet from 1928

This bonnet has a center crown of a rose surrounded by six leaves, one attached to each petal.

I will next work on a few done in luscious tatting!

Enjoy, Debby

Irish crochet edging - free pattern

To get ready for the Irish crochet bonnet, you may want to practice a bit on some less complicated edging.

Here is a pretty design from FreeVintageCrochet.com

For Irish Crochet Edgings, use J. & P. Coats Tatting-Crochet, Size 70, with Milwards Steel Crochet Hook No. 13; or J. & P. Coats Best Six Cord Mercerized Crochet, Size 100, with a No. 15 or 16 hook.

Looks nice!

Enjoy, Debby

Magazines from 1920's....and some upcoming patterns

My sisters found some great magazines from the 1920's for me. They each are full of great articles, advertisements and patterns.

I will be working on some new patterns from them this week. I love baby bonnets so I will start with them.

There are some in lovely irish crochet work and others in tatting.

Enjoy,
Debby
