Sultana Beauty Glo Fashions and Accessories 1950

This Sultana booklet was published in 1951 and has patterns to make with their Beauty-Glo mercerized cotton yarn. Here's their description, "Exciting Sultana Beauty-Glo is a highly mercerized cotton yarn combined with non-tarnishing gold thread made by an exclusive process so that it can't unravel."

The booklet has a mix of crochet and knitting patterns: six lovely sweaters, a stole, two pairs of shoes, and two bags. The sizing on the inside page goes from size 12-20. Size 12 is listed as a 30-inch bust and size 20 is a 38-inch bust. Many of the sweaters have a more limited size range in the pattern. The cover is the only color photo of their projects. This one is called "Sparkle" and is crocheted with size options 12, 16, and 20.

The other two crocheted tops are Jewel and Sunbeam. Jewel has instructions for sizes 12-14. Sunbeam has sizes 14-18.

The three knitted tops are Gleam (14-16), Twinkle (16-18) and Glint (12-16).

I thought about making the crocheted bags or shoes, but they need bag forms or slipper soles.

This stole is also crocheted and with a fairly large hook to give it the lacy look.

I think these are beautiful projects, but I just couldn't pull off a sweater for the blog. If I ever decide to do one, it will be Sparkle (the one on the cover).

No post next week. I'll have the next post ready on February 28th.
