I'm looking for free sites to print vintage and antique Crochet Patterns ?
Hello. I am looking for as many free vintage crochet patterns as I can possibly get! For Christmas this year, I am compiling a huge folder of patterns for my Mom. She loves to crochet with vintage patterns, Vintage Crochet but has so many books in her collection already, I'm scared to buy her any more (in case I accidentally get duplicates of ones she already owns). So, I went out and bought a whole bunch of paper and ink to print a large assortment of them. I am looking for doilies (pineapple patterns especially), and any other pattern from the 1950's and before. I do have many already, but am still looking for more. So I thought this would be a great way for everyone to post links to sites and free ebooks of their favorite patterns so that we can all share. Thanks!!!

Here’s a handy conversion chart.http://www.yarnstandards.com/hooks.htmlA size 5 = an F = 3.75mmI don’t think anybody knows for sure why there are so many labels for a size of a hook. But the little chart comes in handy sometimes.

It’s listed as vintage, so you may have a hard time finding it for sale. It would be pretty easy to make one like it. If I was better at crochet, I would do it for you… but I’m still learning. You could go to Etsy and have someone do a custom one for you. You can post the photo with your request.

Bucilla (the company) is no longer in business. They were bought out by Plaid Corp. Try their website. (apparently they no longer carry hooks and needles) http://www.plaidonline.com/home.aspYou can also take your needles in to a good yarn shop and someone may know if they’re worth anything. Or try e-bay and see if you can find similar ones and see what they are selling for. But since there are a lot of hooks and needles available I don’t think they are worth as much in monetary value as they are in sentimental value.

Yes, you can just sew the crochet edging onto the pillow. With the raw edge, what about first hemming that so that you have a clean line at the edge? Not sure how that would work with your holes though. If you do cover the holes, you can always just sew the crochet edge onto the pillow case.Happy sewing!

Yes there should be cotton packed inside. You should be able to access the wick from the underside. Push it through from the bottom with something like an ice pick.
