 The top features bead work along the top edge and straps.

 The shawl also features bead work and is done in the Solomon Knot crochet stitch. I have a tutorial on how to do the Solomon's Knot here.

Stripes Purse Free Crochet Pattern

Striped Purse is this week's free pattern.

Free Vintage Crochet Pattern: Mardi Gras Afghan

The free vintage pattern from my collection is called: "Mardi Gras" Afghan.  It is a simple block afghan that goes together to create a cute color block design with star like inserts.  I really like this one.  You may not realize it by looking at it, but it is a fairly versatile design.
How about dark blue for the background, light blue for the pink and yellow for the star-like inserts to make it look like the night sky.  Add snowflake appliques to the light blue and you have a winter wonderland afgahn!

Enjoy!

Free Vintage Ruffled Bag Crochet Pattern



I try to post 2 free vintage patterns from my collection a week and this week's second pattern is this Ruffled Bag. It's crochet and around late 30's or early 40's.


I realize there are people out there who sell vintage patterns and I've even bought a few (I never post one I've bought a copy of, only the patterns I have the actual printed page/booklet of that I personally have bought at thrift stores, antique stores, estate sales, etc.) and have always been disappointed with the lack of instructions originally published. Often I've had to set down and basically re-write the pattern in order to make it. Because of this, I feel they should be made free. Good luck in making them!

Penguin Costume For Baby Doll New Crochet Pattern

New pattern at Donna's Crochet Designs!
It is a double pattern!
Designed for the 12-inch to 13-inch baby doll it is a Penguin Costume complete with Red Bow Tie and Red Cumber Bun. The cap or hood to the costume supports a Penguin's beak and a tiny top hat. The outfit is an all in one design that fastens up the back with snaps. The hood fastens with a snap as well.
There is also a 4-1/2" Penguin Toy you can make. It is the perfect size for the doll to play with.

The second complete outfit that comes with the pattern is an Every Day style outfit. You get the instructions to make the Footed Pants with draw-string, Short Sleeve Shirt with Penguin Applique and headband. You can either decorate the headband with the Bow Tie or the Tiny Top Hat.
It is the first in my series of animal costumes for the 12-13-inch baby doll.
Next month it will be a Caterpillar, with Caterpillar toy and Every Day Outfit.

I hope you like it!
