Weldon's Tenth Series - Mittens, Capes, Petticoats, Quilts Etc

The Tenth Series brings us 17 patterns and 20 illustrations. Three of the patterns have multiple views including close ups of pattern stitches or parts of the pattern. There are many different types of patterns as the title suggests. Let's take a look at some of them.

The doll's walking costume above is one of the more detailed and comprehensive ones I've seen. The pattern includes instructions for crocheting a pelisse, cape, hat, muff, shoes, and bag. Plus directions for making a pair of knitted drawers and a knitted petticoat are given. It takes up three pages of the series.

Items for kids include a "vest", A Baby's Petticoat (adding this to a possible County Fair list), a petticoat done in Tunisian and a pilch.

​There are a couple of shoulder warmers:

For blanket and quilt options we have a Cot Quilt done in Tunisian Squares with cross-stitching on top, another square for a quilt called the St. Andrew's Cross and a Diamond Lattice pattern that looks very cozy.

There is also trimming for a chemise, a "Handsome Wide Border" and two "D'Oyley's" that are edgings done around a piece of fabric. 

I thought about making the St. Andrew's Cross above but ultimately decided on a pair of Gentleman's Mittens. These mittens look like they're open at the top but it might just be an odd illustration. Find out next week how that went.

Also, Happy Birthday to the person who gave me this fun book!
