I had something quite different lined up for this week, then I stumbled upon this little gem. Yes, it's time again to look at the evil that can be wrought by a crochet hook.
The idea behind a lot of these styles appears to be "why wait for the moths to eat holes in your clothes when you can do it yourself?"
The Fringe of Fashion
Our fashion scene opens with a dashing little crochet vest to wear in many ways. Crocheted in shimmering white, we dressed it romantically in a gay peasant mood.
Pretty In Pastel
Fine crochet makes this graceful blouse. Lace patterning in the delicate texture of 2-ply, with full sleeves, demure cuffs and collar, and tiny pearl buttons to add a delightfully feminine finishing touch.
"Demure", except you can see the model's underwear through it.
Nothing is better for lounging by the pool than a bright orange poncho crocheted in an unbreathable synthetic yarn.*
Crochet Cover-up Looks
Seen at the Yacht Club in these striking crochet cover-ups for after swim or sailing. Brilliant orange for the gaily fringed poncho, or apricot striped with white for the jaunty cardigan-tunic.
(*I checked. The poncho is made in Courtelle.)
The Crochet Trend for Trouser Suits
Two of fashion's top moods — the trouser suit and crochet combine in this striking outfit to turn all heads on the casual scene. Easy-to-wear tunic top has a cord tie and pretty picot edges match the trousers.
Being a product of the 1970s. this magazine also has some quite—ahem!—interesting knitting patterns as well. But that will be a subject for another post...
