1950 Crochet Pattern ~ Free

 Free always seems to capture interest.

I am passionate about sharing history.  Needlework was such an important part of daily life in the past. The patience, time, and talent it took to create some of the beautiful works of art continue to astonish me. 

The time it takes to scan these books, newspapers, magazines, and other historic documents...so although I'm sharing one pattern here, I'm hopeful that you will consider purchasing the entire book.  

I work full time in a manufacturing facility, so I'm sure many of you can appreciate the love and sincere desire to not only preserve the history, but also encourage people to incorporate small pieces of history into their modern lives.

Here is a link to the ENTIRE book with many patterns!

And the price is right! Cheap.  Any purchase helps me continue scanning.  THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

1949 Spider-web Centerpiece ~ Crochet Pattern

I am trying to get as many of these vintage patterns online so a new generation can enjoy making them.

It would make me SO HAPPY to see some of these patterns actually made, so please post pictures of these projects actually completed!  And if you sell your handmade creations online, feel free to post a link to your shop with your picture.

I am publishing these free of charge, but would be grateful for any amount donation to help offset the time it takes to get them scanned and published.  Even donations as small as 50 cents can help.  I still work full time and have kids in school, so this is a labor of love.  Keeping the art of needlework alive and these vintage patterns working to create heirlooms.

Thank you and look forward to seeing some pictures!
