Three vintage crochet pattern instruction booklets from the early 1950s, all with patterns for lace edgings on hankies, doilies, bed and table linens, clothing, aprons, and more. Only a few of the many designs are shown in the pictures.
Coats Clark Handkerchief Edgings No. 282, dated 1951. 20 different patterns.
American Thread Star Book 81, dated 1951. 24 patterns, a few for tatting and hairpin lace crochet.
Coats Clark Edgings Book 305, dated 1954. 38 patterns plus sewing/applique patterns for aprons with crochet edgings.
The Star book (green cover) has a partial tear at the top edge of the front cover. Otherwise the booklets are intact and in very good pre-owned condition.
