1960's Mini Dresses (crochet) and lace stockings (knitted)






I've decided seeing as I am trying to learn how to knit I may aswell try to learn how to crochet as well....

picked up the crochet pattern book for 50c and it is Patons Book 953 --Beautiful In Crochet.


anyone know any good crochet tutorials that I could print out???


in the mean time i' also thinking about making this scarf...




and here is an example of a crocheted mini dress...which is really simliar to the photos...

Now this is really scary. I have, at the back of my wardrobe, a crochet dress from this pattern. My mother made it for me when I was 12, in 1970. It is mauve (I wanted purple, but she told me purple was only for older people).

I thought I was really quite special!!
