Crocheting in the 1840’s

No pictures, No YouTube, No Internet. How did they Crochet then?

This is one of the oldest American booklets with crocheting patterns – interesting insights on clothing and color tastes of the 1840’s.

It is a 63 page PDF of crochet patterns from the 19th Century.  I always find it interesting to see some of the older patterns.

Lots of Lace and its all about Style.

There is a menu at the bottom of the image to scroll through the pages.
