Vintage Pattern - Cute Crochet Cap

Today a little crochet pattern for a winter beanie from May 1965 (Australian Women's Weekly).

I am pretty sure dc is double crochet, and there is a good tutorial here (which I may actually follow one day...)

Vintage Pattern - Crochet a Cheeky Monkey!

I found this cute monkey pattern in the December 1960 issue of the Women's Weekly and had to share! I have tried to enlarge it to make it readable.

My crochet is not fantastic, but I would love to give it a go.....If you do, please let me know!

 

Apparently Demi Moore loves toy monkeys.... I wonder if she crochets?

Paper Dolls 1940s style

Some more 1942 fashion inspiration.  From Jack and Jill magazine, April 1941, via the paper collector.




I love the touches of red, including those peep toe shoes, and of course the red coat.  The gingham shirt would be perfect for horse-riding, , and how modern does the white top with the tie front look?  I plan to print this out on card for Miss Six’s birthday, but the images would be great for scrapbooking too.

Enjoy, Deb xx
