| Vintage 1919 Corticelli Crochet Patterns |
I happened upon Cortecelli Book 9, Lessons in Crochet, dated 1919 at the thrift shop this morning. It is missing pages 11 to 39 and the marvelous projects in the remaining pages have me searching for a copy in it's entirety. Though this blog is usually dedicated to sewing but I am also an avid knitter, spinner, crocheter, quilter among other things, so I thought I would post these rare patterns.
The jacket is lovely with it's raised stitching and fringe trim. Though this fashion was the rage almost 100 years ago (think about that!) it has lost none of it's appeal and the tunic length is perfect with today's skirts or leggings.

These are darling patterns! Perfect for vintage motorcar enthusiasts.
ReplyDeleteLove those hats! Alas, I am a terrible crocheter - my grandmother, bless her heart, tried and tried to teach me - my granny squares came out round every time. It took nearly all one summer in high school for her to guide me through a simple granny square muffler/scarf. Anyhow, those are to die for hats. Thank you for posting them. Maybe I'll try that last one...it's knitted, not crocheted.
ReplyDeleteI love the antique crochet hat. The brim looks like fabric was used. The combined look of crochet and fabric is awesome!
