Weldon's Twelfth Series - More Useful Garments, etc

7/6/2024

This series has 22 illustrations for 16 patterns. Twelve of those are garments, two are quilt squares, one is a couvrepied (literally a foot blanket) and one is a doily.

Let's start with the useful garments for babies and children. Tricot stitch (Tunisian) is becoming a pretty common stitch for many of the patterns including the bonnet, the boots and the slippers below.

The Infant's cape pattern says that would be easily enlarged to a suit a lady. The series includes an enlarged engraving of a section of the cape.

Colors suggested for boots are pale blue and white fingering weight yarn.

Slippers - they suggest scarlet, gray and white for the colors.

Lady's useful garments from this series are a regular petticoat, a "warm, fleecy, petticoat", a Shetland Hood, a shooting cap, a shawl, a cuff and some edgings for shawls and a chemise. There is also shooting cap (maybe it would go well with the bag for knitting needles in an earlier series?).

Here are the blanket patterns. While these are all made in thread or fingering weight yarn, I think they could be made in a heavier weight and take much less time.

I was going to try the shooting cap but by the second round I was lost. Second choice was the Ablemarle square pattern. That was also confusing so I moved on to crochet shawl above in the half crazy stitch. Seemed fitting after trying two patterns that drove me half crazy.

    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.
