Crafty 1930's Patterns

Hello!

Did you know you can search crochet patterns and images at the national library archives?
I think the've been updating thier online archives and there are searchable vintage Australian Women's weekly crafty tips and patterns. They go way back to the 1930's and have ideas for d'oyleys (as they spell it!) patterns for crocheted puff sleeve jumpers and other very lovely retro crafty things things.

Please let me know if you find something really marvelous in your searching travels!

Vintage Crochet Hats

Hope you enjoy this selection of Vintagey crochet Hats on a Tuesday....

Most of them are available as patterns if you are so inclined to make one!
(just click the link below each image)

 

The Beehive and Halo hats are from Babydee on etsy 

This is my personal favourite...

This lovely popcorn beret pattern is available here

or perhaps you're feeling a little floral?

This floral creation features in a booklet from 1937  

"Colourful accessories to crochet and knit"

Or, for a real statement piece, how about a striped crochet turban? Quite spectacular!

Happy Tuesday People!
