Originally published in 1934, this vintage crochet pattern book contains illustrations and detailed instructions for 5 dresses, 2 blouses, 2 hats and 2 glove patterns. A truly lovely collection of elegant crochet patterns with that sophisticated look that 1930s fashion gave us.  

Directions for this book are for vintage blouse/dress size 34 and skirt size 14 -- but don't fret if this isn't your size. The book contains details on increasing size and we also provide unbound paper instructions for: 

- basic directions for changing the size of a garment.
- instructions for measuring your body for vintage patterns.
- directions for choosing your size based on body measurements
  from the late 1800s through the 1950s when corsets and girdles
  made women thinner.
- fittings guideline chart you can use to adjust patterns to fit
  tighter or looser based on your own preferences of a snug or
  loose fit with your clothing.
- knitting/crochet conversion instructions you can use if you
  like a specific pattern but are not skilled in knitting/crochet
  (or vice versa), you can do what you are familiar with.
