Opis

Crochet patterns scatter when in sheets of paper; one can buy one pattern on-line and the cost to print and mail it runs $6-$7. Free patterns on-line are unformatted and difficult to follow. So have consolidated and recomposed and colored this antheology of patterns for basically the cost of printing. These 85 classic crochet patterns have been collected from public and anonymous sources, organized, re-structured for a consistent format and enhanced with color for a permanent craft archive going back to the 1930s. Traditional motif names are conserved for the expert or family member who returns to old patterns to restore or recreate old family heirlooms. These patterns cover tables, beds, altars and chair sets, but no doilies. NOTE: Crochet stitches are knotted and not woven, extremely durable--unlike knitting, which is soft and pliable. Crochet is best for decorative elements (curtains, tablecloths and bedspreads) due to their longevity and washability subject to hard wear. This series of 8 volumes when completed will include four for Crochet and four for Knitting, about 800 patterns in all, a few dating back to 1850s. These are beautiful designs, but practical too. The NEXT volume in the series will be Volume 5, Emmie's Knitting for Babes to Tots.
