Welcome to my main directory of pages, pictures and information on the topic of vintage crochet.

I used to own and maintain an entire website dedicated to the topic of vintage crochet. I collect crochet patterns from the 1860s through the 1930s, so most of the old web pages at my vintage crochet site featured imagery and information about the patterns that were available in those years.

That site wasn’t very well organized, and I eventually took it offline. I’ve started reorganizing all the info from it, and I have have reposted a bunch of the most popular pages. If you drop me a comment and let me know which types of vintage crochet projects you’re interested in seeing here, I’ll be likelier to prioritize reviving any pages that correlate with your interests.

My intention is to get to it all, little by little, as time permits. The pages linked below are the ones that I have posted so far. I hope you’ll enjoy them! Thanks for visiting.

Find Vintage Crochet Patterns in Old Issues of Needlecraft: The Home Arts Magazine

I used to collect vintage Needlecraft Home Arts magazines because most issues of the magazine had crochet patterns. Furthermore, many of them had patterns by Mary Card, who is one of my favorite crochet pattern designers.

I took pictures of almost all the Needlecraft magazines I used to own. Some of them are available at this website, and others aren’t available yet, but hopefully will be someday if you stick with me. You can see the pages that I currently have available at the following link: Vintage Needlecraft Home Arts Magazine: Are They Worth Anything? Plus Pictures

So there you have it: Those are the resources that I currently have available on the topic of vintage crochet. I hope you found these pages helpful and interesting.
