Vintage Crochet Patterns

You like using schemas hook vintage? I love going through the old magazines and see all the many uses of crochet hooks and working with wire, thread, and rags, yes it is true; they used same rags to rug rag. I still remember the human cloth coming from our House to buy old clothing by the pound sterling. It is a scale with him and paid by the pound.

It seems that they took more time to return to the customize their homes. Not that we are not our own personal touches in our homes today, but how many times you find a pad hot hook in the kitchen of today? A piece of finely knitted on table or Chair in room dining arm and head covers crocheted a beautiful filet crochet pattern? Placemats have always had a thing of art and a fine touch for the homemaker.

There were knitted curtains, cloths, parings of plateau, the squad place and runners of the table. Beautiful bedspreads have been my favorite. It is not to mention old women clothing made for their families.

OK, I recognize some of the key of the 1970s were a little wild and I am very happy years and patterns have long disappeared. No I never had a desire for a knitted toilet tank covered to match my orange and green toilet paper cover. I don't know where those pattern ideas from, but I can guess.

But to return to live in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. I think that it was the time where a home was a haven warm pride and decorated and cared for with love. There was more time to create and it was common for a woman to know how knitting and crocheting. Include now not quite me, I do not think todays woman is either less than a homemaker as dos only. But women have more time to put in the creation of the family environment and the many personal comforts and special keys.

I would like to have this hook free vintage patterns section. There is so much history and beauty in the hook passed to find and share. We do not want the patterns to disappear with age and to be forgotten. Some of the old models will be a little confused by the abbreviations they use. So I hope that this list will help a little in these cases.
