Peppermint Purse & Scarf Free Crochet Pattern

I wanted to post something more in line with the holiday spirit.  What goes better with Christmas then Red & White & Peppermints?  How about this Peppermint Purse & Scarf set!

Both are made using worsted weight yarn.  You simply carry the unused yarn behind your stitches as you work them so dropping and picking up colors are a breeze.  For those who aren't familiar with the process here is a tutorial I made awhile back that should help illustrate the idea better.

I used a combination of both the yarns to make the fringe on the scarf and this big, chunky tassel at the bottom of the purse.  Feeling more in the holiday spirit yet?

Enjoy!

Two Free Vintage Patterns

This week's vintage free pattern is actually 2 patterns.
One is what they called a Ski Sweater.
The second one is for a sleeveless sleeve dress.

Both are done in a worsted weight yarn so it should be easy to find a replacement yarn like from Red Heart or Bernat.

Enjoy!

Free Crochet Ornament and Rug Pattern

 Here are two new free patterns just in time for your Christmas decorating.  The first one is for the tree.  The ornament was made using size 10 crochet threads and features an indented center like ornaments from holidays past. It measures 3-1/2" across and filled with stuffing or fiber fill. 
Make one in a dozen different colors to decorate your tree!
Make them as gifts!
Add them to the bow on a present!

The second pattern is also an ornament but this one was made for the floor!  It's an ornament rug!
The rug features a two-color center that "swirls". It was made using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn and is 24" across.

I hope you enjoy them!

Great Baby Cardigans and Hats Free Vintage Pattern

Here is a great pattern that will work for either a boy or a girl!

I believe the pattern is from the late 50's and features a super cute cardigan in 2 colors as well as a tam style hat, baseball hat, booties and mittens.

Remember with vintage patterns the terms may be a little different that what you are use to, but for the most part they can be figured out.  Also the brands and types of yarns called for may not still be made, but if you pay attention to the weight of the yarn called for you can easily find  a substitute.

Enjoy

Instant Fashion Coat a Free Vintage Knit Pattern

Here is the latest Free Vintage Pattern:
Instant Fashion Coat
It is a knit pattern.
I love it, I actually took a knitting class recently so I could eventually make this.  Slow going, still haven't gotten the hang of knitting and pearling.  It would help if I could figure out how to hold my yarn while I'm knitting.  I need to hold it in my opposite hand from when I crochet and every new row I knit I need to figure out how to hold it all over again!
Enjoy!

Hope you like it.
I'm working on adding more photos to my vintage pattern site so you can see exactly what is in the booklet/collections that I've posted.  Who wants to download a pdf if you can see all you're getting?  Not me.
Enjoy!

Free Vintage Pattern Romper For Baby

Free Vintage Knit Pattern Brilliant Future A Ladies Sweater

Vintage Knit Pattern called: Brilliant Future.

It is the ladies sweater seen to the left.

I wonder where they come up with the names for these things?

Looks neither Brilliant or Futuristic to me.
