I am always captured by the vintage crochet hat patterns that I find. I'm not much of a hat person, myself, but when I see pictures of the hats from the 60's, they fascinate me. I am re-writing a crochet hat pattern so that it is more comprehensible for others. I always find that they no longer make the thread that is required and the patterns are sometimes difficult to follow.
The hat, I will probably never wear, but I am sure someone will make a good offer for it. Hopefully, the re-write on this will be easier to follow and encourage others to make this hat.
I remember many years ago attempting to make a doily and for the life of me I could not figure out what the instructions were asking me to do. I spent days trying to comprehend what should have been a simple task. I dreamed about this doily in my sleep for several nights because I really wanted to complete the project.
I eventually did figure it out and I still have that doily 30 years later. So needless to say, the patterns and designs that are vintage truly do hold the test of time.
My only hope is, that others will attempt to create these patterns that I have re-written in a more comprehensive format, so that our history of designers can be preserved and appreciated.
Hopefully, I can finish today and treat myself to a crochet book thong with the cutest little dog and bone beads. Yes, I am a collector of vintage buttons and unusual beads. Isn't that the cutest?
With Grace,
Debra
