I don’t have the book and have not seen the pattern before but what I am wondering is this, are you trying to find a way to connect them together? Are you looking for an edging. e-mail me with this information and I {hopefully} will be able to help you. I have been into this {stuff} for many years so have some knowledge.

There are so many crochet pattern books out there, it’s hard to list them all. If you want to learn to crochet from the book, that makes it a little tougher to find a book. All books have general crochet instructions, but trying to find one that has great illustrations for first time crocheters is hard. These are some of the books I have looked at that I really like:Get Your Crochet On Series (Hip Hats and Cool Caps is the book I would recommend)Fabulous and Flirty CrochetHooked BagsThose are just to name a few. You can find all of them and more here: http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1224453523/ref=sr_pg_8?ie=UTF8&rs=1000&keywords=crochet&rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3Acrochet&page=1The thing about crochet books is that you have to look through them to see if you like them before you buy them. Everyone has different tastes and let’s face it, there are bound to be things that you won’t like.Here are some of my favorite sites for patterns:http://crochet.about.com/library/blfreepatts1.htmhttp://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PHPSESSID=7b37e183f53207833cae287d3ca844dbhttp://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/Coats+and+Clark+Free+Crochet+Projects.htmhttp://marthac.info/links.htmlhttp://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory.phphttp://www.dailycrocheter.com/patterns.htmlhttp://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat843899There are tons more that I have, so if you want to email me, I will send you some more.~Happy Crocheting!~

All the above answers are good. I went to the site that 123456 suggested and it is really nice. Another you could try is newletters.drgnetwork.comThey send you info and patterns for a project every 2-3 weeks and most are current styles. Hope this helps Happy crocheting

after you have joined with a slip stitch,you chain 1, then you do a single crochet around the chain 10 loop ,then you do 23 more in the same manner. what this does is cover the chain to give it more stability. then you slip stitch in the first chain 1 to complete the round.ok, next round., chain 1, (*) this symbol simply means (repeat)now single crochet in the single crochet,chain 4, skip the next 2 single crochets and this is where you start the repeat by doing a single crochet in the next sc. ,then chain 4 skip the next 2 sc and repeat from * to the end of the round. I hope this helps, I think you would have a better understanding if you got a “how to book” from the library where there is a large selection or a book store. I found it is easier if you have a picture in front of you to compare your st. with . good luck

You have to be more specific. Need more info. on what the Afghans looked like, Did you check your local library? They may have a copy.
January 2nd, 2011 at 10:23 pm
I found this site sometime back. It’s a Dutch lady that has tons of stuff in regards to crochet and knitting. Here site is in English and Dutch. You can email her and see if she knows the book.http://www.jessica-tromp.nl/index.htmlGood luck. (If you are a knitter, check this great site out. It’s fantastic!!)

Try the library or a discount bookstore (like Half-Price Books). Both have large selections of crochet books.
January 3rd, 2011 at 10:39 pm
Look at what they have at your local library. Also the internet has about a jillion for free.Here’s a sample of some links with patterns.http://www.freevintagecrochet.com/afghans.htmlhttp://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/afghans.phphttp://www.allcrafts.net/crochet/afghans.htmhttp://www.bernat.com/search.php?pspt=h&advps=yhttp://cache.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/patternIndex.fcgi?s=Crochethttp://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/AfghansThrows/Crafts+Project+List.htm

If you check your craft stores, there are actual kits that usually come with a hook. All these books are excellent. I taught myself to knit and crochet with books. Any book will do. In fact, when you buy the next book for a new pattern, they’ll most likely have all the basics in those, too. They’re all very much the same, so feel confident with whatever you get. If you don’t understand something, I have a feeling that YouTube can explain what you can’t get from the book, or a site online will do just as nicely.As far as materials, I now stick mainly with doily-weight thread, thin nylon, and thin wire (I do a lot of jewelry). If I do crochet larger items, such as afghans, I am very, very careful with my color choices, my pattern choices, and the type of yarn I use. So many of the afghans I inherited are in harvest gold, avacado green, and wild orange in that strange V pattern, and the yarn is very very scratchy. They are more expensive and you might want to wait until you’re more comfortable, but there are some amazingly soft yarns. I made my kids afghans out of them, and they fell asleep rubbing it against their faces. Just be sure how to make it very, very secure so it will last. It’s a great hobby and it’s extremely versatile. It crosses over into so many other crafting things (making purses out of soda pop tabs, adding beads, and jewelry). It’s portable. You can stick a hook in your back pocket if you’re somewhere where you might lose it. Granny squares are fun because you can make a bunch of different ones in the same color scheme but with different patterns and arrange them however you wish and make anything as big as you wish. If you want to work with doily-like, there are some excellent magazines that have both written and schematic instructions. You can’t go wrong with crochet. Good luck!

I had a similar book that I found behind a radiator in 1963 that showed how to make draperies and such. Can’t find it right now, but it is kinda old then.Not the same description of the cover, but the Reader’s Digest Complete Guide to Needlework covers the pretty much the same genre.http://www.amazon.com/Readers-Digest-COMPLETE-GUIDE-NEEDLEWORK/dp/B00162IFN0I have the book and it includes several projects within each category.1963 – I remember a lot about that Fall. We lived in VA and my husband was in the Navy. During the Captain’s inspection on the flight deck, word began circulating that President Kennedy had been shot. That and the events following stunned many of us for weeks, months and years. So – hope you can replace your book. Look for bookstores that have very old books, if you can. Good luck.

the public library
January 5th, 2011 at 10:53 pm
Most of the books give you the directions for all stitches needed to create the patterns within. I tend to look back at my crocheting for dummies book often. It will teach you all the basics plus teach you how to adapt patterns for different sizes.Once you get the stitches down… which I’m sure you will, I find crochet easier than knitting… there are some really good pattern books called hooked on toddlers/babies or hooked for toddlers/babiesthe patterns are easy and they give directions from baby sizes all the way to toddler sizes.
January 6th, 2011 at 11:03 am
They can not post the pattern on a public forum, it is a copywright infringement.If someone has the pattern they can send it to your private e-mail. Sorry to say that has risk too.Is there something else you can work on in the meantime?
