There were sixteen patterns in the booklet from 1911-1917. For 1911, they pulled three from Weldon's Practical Needlework; a Rose Sachet, a Lady's Sport Cap in Crazy Stitch and the Rose Peter Pan Collar The fourth was sourced from Lady's World Fancy Work Book and is done in a knot stitch and fine weight yarn or thread. They even added a photo of the what the stitch is supposed to look like. For the 1912 patterns they went with ornamental projects. The buckles, butterfly and handbag are all from Weldon's and the button is from Lady's World Fancy Work Book. They had this beautiful shoe from 1914 from Irish Crochet, a Handbook of Practical Instruction. There are two pages of instructions and they attach the motifs to a pair of silk or satin evening shoes. 1917 patterns are flowers, gloves and a hat. The flowers are all from Lady's World Fancy Work Book. The Folkstone Hat is from Fancy Needlework Illustrated and the Gloves are from Weldon's Practical Needlework. (Is the hat "fancy" and are the gloves "practical"?) I thought about trying one of the flowers but decided on the button since the last one was kind of failure as a button. Next week I'll have the finished button. I'm sure this will be a pretty fast project but I'll have bigger ones coming up the year.

AuthorI'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. Archives
