Become an Artist!

Antique Crochet Patterns
www.antiquecrochetpatterns.com
Antique crochet patterns have experienced a huge increase in demand as part of the revival of crochet as a fun and relaxing hobby.
Nostalgia for past times and the ever revolving fashion cycle have contributed to the renewed popularity of this 19th century handcraft.
We are fortunate enough to possess a collection of rare and hard to find 1920's (and earlier) needlework books containing patterns for beautiful creations from times past. While we enjoy reading these books we receive far more enjoyment from seeing the patterns they contain come to life when recreated by modern crocheters.
