This series of useful articles says it has thirty illustrations but I only counted 25 for the 23 patterns. Lest you think they're slacking off on the number of patterns some of the ones in this issue are definitely more complex. It starts you out with a little jar, a collar and a triangle shaped scarf and moves right into this lovely frock for a child of two years. This is done in Tunisian with fingering weight wool. If your child is just a little to old for that one, you could try the frock for a three year old. This is also done in fingering weight wool and uses several different hook sizes. For something less complicated, this skirt is done in Tunisian with pink and white worsted weight wool. Maybe you'd prefer something for yourself? How about this "Cross-over"? It's described as being "suitable for outdoor wear under a jacket or a fur cloak or may be worn in the house." They suggest white and peacock blue fingering weight wool along with six pearl buttons. There were some simpler and smaller objects. I thought this crochet ball was fun. The description says, "These balls are greatly liked by children, and dessert dish full arranged as oranges makes an attractive and profitable addition to a stall at a bazaar." They do it in a fingering weight wool but I think it could be done in any weight of yarn. It seems like there is a Tam in almost every series. This time we get a fluted one done in fingering weight wool. I considered both of these for next weeks project but ultimately decide on the jar. There is a photo and I'll share it next week.

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
