1983 Christmas Special - Part Two

I'm back with part two, the weirder part. Let's start with these Candle Coverups. They are not intended to cover up candles; instead they are covering up and decorating hair spray and toilet paper.

Sticking with the cover up theme; you should really hide that powder box and it has to be with this princess doll. Does the trim look like a bandolier to you? Maybe its not make-up powder she's hiding.

Santa is covering up toilet paper with a tissue box. I guess you could get a Santa mask and hands at your local craft store or Benjamin Franklin's in the 80s. The hands look like AI made them.

As long as we're talking about Santa, how about this cute little change purse. I think Santa's other form is an angry owl.

​This stocking is a little confusing to me. Are the different stitch patterns supposed to give it a 3-D look or did they mean for the foot to look that way?

Here are a few clothing items. The helmet isn't terrible - they note that it's also for girls in parentheses. The Pregnancy top purports to be a great gift for your pregnant friends. The pattern is made with two pieces that are exactly the same, so in theory it's reversible. I'm not sure how well that would actually fit.

The Teddy Car Freshener looks a bit scary - I think it's the eyes.
The Doll Dress Potholders must be decorative because that bow is a fire risk.

​And for the last one I leave you with Gnome Slippers. No copyright issues here! Gnome, Gnomette and Papa Gnome are made with blue worsted weight yarn.

Would you make any of these?

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.
