Crocheted Handbag - Clutch Purse Crochet Pattern

2007-04-17T06:44:00.000-07:00

"Whether in a single color as pictured or in varied stripes, this is a bag that will out-wear many of the ready-to-use type. If wanted in colors to match the costume, any of the bright shades of Enterprise Yarn may be used."

Materials: Three balls will make the bag in a single color—one ball each of 3 colors will do it with stripes across the bag in mixed shades. A piece of buckram will be needed for stiffening; and lining material. If buckram is not available a satisfactory substitute can be made at home —a piece of fairly heavy cloth, duck, muslin or flour sacking will do. Make slightly larger than needed—dip in thick hot starch, and when dry apply one or two coats shellac on both sides—trim to size. Steel Crochet Hook No. 1.

Ch 65, 64 sc on ch. * Ch 3, turn, 1 dc in 1 loop of each st (64 dc). Ch 1, turn, 1 dc in remaining loop of each st, sl st in 3-ch. Ch 2, turn, (1 dc in 1 loop of each dc on front row) across to end. Skip 1-ch at end of previous row, ch 1, turn, 1 dc thru back loop of last dc and down at back thru a single loop of first dc in back row, (dc thru next dc on both front and back rows, fastening them together) repeated to end. Repeat from * for 15 ribs. Ch 3, turn, (dc in last 3 dc) worked off together into a Cluster, dc across to fourth from end, (dc in 3 end dc) made into a Cluster. Ch 1, turn, and repeat this row in remaining loop of each st, sl st in first Cluster. Ch-2, turn, and repeat this same row across, then complete rib with sc instead of dc. Work sc around entire piece, putting 5 sc across end of each rib. Fasten off.

Gusset: Ch 4, 15 dc in first st, sl st in 3-ch. Ch 3, in back loops, 2 dc in each dc. Ch 3, turn, in both loops, dc in 2 dc, then 1 hdc, 2 sc, 1 hdc and 2 dc. (Ch 1, turn, 8 sc) 17 times. Fasten off. Make 2. Pin work right-side-down in true shape, rub back with a cloth dipped in hot starch, and press dry. Cut buckram slightly narrower than bag and 1/2" shorter in length. Hold in bag, ends even and fold flap between 14th and 15th ribs. Cut lining 1/2" larger, fold edges over on back of buckram and fasten with sticky tape, making lining tauter lengthwise than buckram. Sew in bag. Fold top of gussets lengthwise down to circle, wrong-side-out, press fold, line on wrong side and sew one in each end.

Cord: Cut 4 strands 6 2/3-yds. long, (double and twist tightly) twice. Fasten loose end. Sew around edge of bag, except across top of front.

Button: Ch 2, 6 sc in first st. In back loops, 2 sc in each sc. Sc in 24 sc (2 rows). (Sc in next second sc) 5 times. Stuff with a 12" strand of yarn, then cotton close with sl sts. Make two and sew below flap, 3" from each end. If wanted, a metal, wood or shell slide or button may be used for closure. Fasten to crocheted loop or thru the button.

Loop: Ch 19, skip 4 sts (dc in next 4, 6 dc in next st) twice, dc in 5 sts. Fasten off. Make 4. Sew together. in pairs back-to-back. Steam and press thru a cloth and sew to flap to match buttons.

Make slightly larger than needed and dip in thick hot starch. When dry apply one or two coats shellac on both sides. Allow to dry. Trim to size and fasten to top.)

For one tie, cut 1 strand each Yellow and Brown 4 yards long, (fold the strand double and holding the folded end, twist tightly. Make another tie the same.

Please help me feel my efforts in scanning pictures, typing patterns and uploading them here are worthwhile! The more people subscribe to the Yahoo Group and the more I get notes from in my email, the more motivated I am to put up more patterns. (Okay, yes, I'm a people pleaser type.)

Do feel free to request certain types of patterns or even a specific pattern (I just might have it!). You can email me at totallyfreecrochetpatterns@gmail.com I will read and consider all pattern requests, though you may not get an email back from me. You would rather have me using the time for digging for those patterns and putting them up, right?

I ran across a post on the Internet where someone had made a doily--from this site and they put a picture of it on the web--I was so tickled to have made that pattern available!

Let me know what you want. Afghan patterns, baby patterns, clothing patterns, thread or yarn, fast and easy, unusual?? Does anyone use thread finer than size 10? (My eyes give me the bejeezers if I go smaller and I get too frustrated, but if you want those patterns, I can sure type them up.)

Please remember that I can't provide patterns that are still under copyright. Which reminds me to ask--Do you like vintage patterns better or antique?

Thanks for your help in making this a desirable free crochet pattern site!

Child's Sweater (ribbed) - 1916 Pattern

2007-01-17T09:54:00.000-08:00

1916 Child's Ribbed Sweater
Size 3 years or adjust for larger or smaller

These instructions are for a sweater for a child of three years. It is
a long coat sweater with a long but narrow shawl collar and turn-back
cuffs. A smaller or larger sweater can be made from the instructions
by adding or diminishing the umber of rows.

Materials require: For body of sweater 6 balls Princess Pearl Crochet
Cotton, size 3. For collar and cuffs: 1 ball contrasting color. 1 No.
3 bone hook.

Explanation of Terms Used:
ch = ch
dc = double crochet
* = where repetition begins

Instructions: This sweater is made in rib stitch. The rib stitch is
simply double crochet, but taking the back loop of each row of
stitches instead of the front loop, thus making "ribs." Two rows are
necessary to make a "rib."

Begin at the center front as follows: Ch 103; 54 dc; turn; 54 dc;
turn; 54 dc on preceding row of dc; 6 dc over ch; continue in same
way, taking 6 dc more over the ch to form the neck and shoulders,
until you have 102 dc. You should now have 18 rows or 9 ribs. Make 6
ribs of 102 dc for the shoulder, then cut down to 76 dc to allow for
armhole; make 4 ribs for under-arm; to give fullness at the bottom of
the garment, add 1 rib of 50 dc and 1 last rib of 30 dc.

Back: Ch 79 for 78 dc; make 2 ribs of 78 dc, the ch 25 for above the
armhole, on which make 24 dc and 78 dc over the preceding; 6 ribs of
102 dc for the shoulder, then 2 ribs of 101 dc to make neck; 6 ribs
100 dc for middle of back, then 2 ribs 101 dc; 6 ribs 102 dc; and 2
ribs 78 dc for under-arm.

Sleeve: Ch 43 for 42 dc (using 1 ch to turn) add 4 ch for 3dc at top
of sleeve; turn; then 45 dc; continue like this for 7 rows, always
adding 3 dc at top of sleeve. At 8th row, to give fullness at top of
sleeve, do not work on 20 dc at bottom of sleeve; at 10th row, work to
the bottom; at 12th row, you should have 60 dc; do not increase any
more; at 16th row, 35 dc only; at 24th row, 35 dc only. You now come
to the middle of the sleeve. Make second half similarly, reversing
order of instructions.

Collar: Ch 4 for 3 dc; 3 dc; increase 1 every 4th row until you have
17 dc. Make the required length and narrow to correspond with first
half.

Cuffs: Ch 18; * make 17 dc; repeat from * until cuff is required
length. Use a seam to join sleeve, and also to join parts of garment.

Oval Doily and Round Doily - 1925 Patterns

2007-01-16T20:33:00.000-08:00

Oval Doily - Originally called "Cover for Asbestos Mat"

Round Doily - Originally called "Cover for Asbestos Mat"

Materials for Either the Oval or Round Doily: Crochet cotton No. 3 or No. 5 and crochet needle No. 5.

Explanation of Stitches:
p = picot: Formed on a ch by joining the last four sts (or any given number) into a ring by working a sl or a d in the fourth st from hook. In the directions, a sl is understood unless otherwise designated. In a few cases the picot is joined by a treble, in which case it is mentioned within the pattern directions.
d = double crochet: this is US single crochet
t = treble crochet: this is US double crochet
sl = slip stitch: Having a st on the needle, put hook through work; draw thread through work and loop on needle at same time.

Tina's Note: Likely you will not be making these to use as an asbestos mat cover, so work to desired size before border, then add border and stop, skipping the lining.

Round Doily or Mat:

Ch 5, join in a ring. 1st rnd: Ch 3, 15 t in ring, join with sl. 2nd rnd (of star stitch): Ch 3, draw loops through second ch st, through first ch st, through st where ch starts, through next t; this gives 5 loops on needle, thread through all 5 at once, ch 1 (this completes one star stitch), for second and following stars: * draw loops through the eye of star, through the loops at back of star, through the last t worked into, through the next t, making 5 loops, thread through all 5 at once, ch 1; repeat from * around. Make this second round quite tight. 3rd rnd: 3 t in the eye of every star, beginning the round with 3 ch and finishing with a sl st. 4th rnd: Like 2d, except make the start stitch rather loose and 6 loops instead of 5 loops, through 2 t instead of but 1. 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and all succeeding rounds of odd numbers: Like 3d round. 6th, 8th, 10th, etc., Like 4th round.

Alternate the star and treble rounds until the work is two rounds larger than the asbestos mat to be covered, ending with a treble round.

Border: Ch 5, sl between groups of t; repeat round. 2nd rnd: Sl to middle of 5 ch, * ch 1, over next 5 ch make (1 t, picot, 1 t, p, 1 t, p, 1 t, p 1 t) sl on middle of next 5 ch; repeat from *.

For the Lining: Work a round of double crochet at the back of the round of trebles that appears outside the mat, having laid the asbestos mat on to find this line; crochet into the back loop of stitches, join with sl. 2nd rnd: Ch 5, miss 3d, sl in next st; repeat from * around. 3d and 4th rounds: Like 2d. Run a cord through the last round and draw up tightly and tie after work is slipped over mat.

Oval Doily or Mat:

To make the oval mat, treble rounds and star stitch rounds are alternated, and the same border used as for the round mat. Having the asbestos mat of the size required, make a chain as long as the difference between the breadth and length of the mat, less 3 ch sts, turn.

1st round: 7 t in fourth st from needle, 1 t in each ch st, 8 t in last st of ch, working around the other side of the ch, 1 t in each ch st, join with sl. 2d round: Star st, with 5 loops around the ends of the work; with 6 loops (working into 2 t) along the sides. 3rd round: 3 t in each star eye around the ends of the work, 2 t in each eye along the sides. 4th round: Star st with 6 loops throughout. 5th round: Like 3d round. Alternate the 4th and 5th rounds to the required size.

Petals Potholder

This is a fun potholder and though the picture is in black and white, it works up nicely with different colors for the rounds of petals. I have a few of Mama's that she made in variegated that are lovely. And take a tip from her...if you make one (not two and sewing them together), this makes a great little dish cloth!

Starting at center, ch 6. Join with a sl st to form ring.
1st rnd: Ch 1, 15 sc in ring. Join with sl st in first sc.

3rd rnd: Ch 1, sc in same place as sl st, * hdc in front loop of next st, 5 dc in front loop of next st, hdc in front loop of next st, sc in front lp of next 2 sts. Repeat from * around.. Join last sc in same place as first sc.

Make another piece same as the first and sew these two pieces together along outer edges of dc rnd, having petals on outside. Sew on bone ring ( or simply chain a couple inches to make a loop).

The Patterns Are Coming!

2007-01-02T00:10:00.000-08:00

Good crochet day to you! And here you are, so kind to visit this blog for your free crochet pattern or maybe hundreds of free crochet patterns and there isn't even an edging pattern to be found! How disappointing!

If you bookmark this blog, I promise to make it up to you. My New Year's resolution is to finally share all these crochet patterns that I've toted around the world for upmteen years. This is day one, which is blog-setting-up-day. The patterns will begin to appear as in direct proportion to the time I can make prepare and load them up here on the blog.

In the meantime, if you have any particular desiderata (that'd be your wishes) for particular kinds of crochet patterns, drop me an email. I may not have time to answer your email (because you want me scanning and uploading those patterns now doncha?), though I will post patterns based on two criteria -- most desired and most unusual. So if I get a hundred requests for baby crochet patterns, you will be seeing lots of baby crochet patterns. If I get a request for men's checkered suspenders with a watch fob using braid crochet (and if I can find a pattern for that!), then you'll see it here.

Most patterns posted here are no longer under copyright (in other words, they are now in the public domain) and a few will be original patterns. The bulk of the patterns are timeless even though they are antique. These are rare finds. Enjoy helping yourself and feel free to tell your crocheting friends!
