Crocheted Bow Tie and More Vintage Patterns!

I made Walker this bow tie to match his Easter outfit and I can't wait for him to wear it! All I did was crochet a single crochet rectangle and wind yarn around the center. I think I'm going to hot glue a clip to the back so it will come on and off easily. 



Also, I finally got my 13 lbs of vintage crochet patterns that I won on EBay!! It was like Christmas opening the box. I was soooo excited!! It had patterns from the 1930s-1980s. Anyway, I thought I'd share some of them with y'all.

I really like both of these tops. The blue one is knit so I couldn't make it, but do you think I could pull off the crocheted one?

I also like this skirt. I might have to make it for the summer, 
but what would I wear underneath it??

These are knit and I would probably never make them, 
but I thought they were too cute not too share:

I'm thinking of making the panties potholder. 
What do you think? 
Do you remember your grandmother having these? 
I think these patterns are from the 40s.

I love both of these patterns! The robe isn't very practical, but sooo cute! I will be in so much trouble if I have a girl one day because I'll want to make her everything!!

Sweet little dress:

I really like this jacket and pants set, don't you?


What is your favorite pattern? 
Have you ever worked with a vintage pattern before? 
If so, do you have any tips for me??

  1. That bow tie is too cute. My little guy loves ties, I think I will have to make him one!
    My favorite pattern is the little girls swim suit, but the crochet skirt is pretty funky too.

  4. Love the bow tie. I made a knit bow tie for my nephew at Christmas, but don't know how to attach it. So, how did you attach it?

    1. I am going to hot glue a clip onto the back and just clip it onto his shirt

  5. My favourite is the crochet overall (no. 38). It is gorgeous. As to experience with vintage patterns I have only knitted from those knitting magazines from the 1970s that my mum has, so I can't really tell. But Im really curious to see what you might be making.
