Another hard to get item, but not for Amazon,
This review is from: The Crocheter's Treasure Chest: 80 Classic Patterns for Tablecloths, Bedspreads, Doilies and Edgings (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
After seeing a crochet bedspread on You Tube, I desperately searched for the pattern book and thanks to Amazon I found it easily. The book offers loads of bedspreads, doilies and even lace that are easy for anyone who knows the difference between a dc(double crochet) and a tr (treble). I only learned to follow patterns with this book, so if I can do it anyone can.

By Allison Tanaka - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Crocheter's Treasure Chest: 80 Classic Patterns for Tablecloths, Bedspreads, Doilies and Edgings (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
Although the patterns in this book are beautiful, you should work with another book if you're a beginner. These patterns were written by/for thread companies that have long been out of business. The gage is very difficult to get correct on some of these and it took some research on thread to needle equivalents and a number of restarts to get going on a doily that would lay flat.

More than simply old-fashioned chair coverings.,
By citizen fact checker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Crocheter's Treasure Chest: 80 Classic Patterns for Tablecloths, Bedspreads, Doilies and Edgings (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)
All of the Dover crochet books by this author are excellent. If you have forgotten how to make the stitches, they are pictured and described in the back of the books. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and there are numerous designs to interest almost anyone.
A relative taught me crocheting years ago, and I more-or-less ignored doilies because I thought they were useless and old fashioned. That is, until I happened to be in Belgium, I forget which town, and noticed that furniture shops and many homes had doilies displayed in their windows. The doilies were fastened to the inside of brass colored macrame rings of various sizes, according to the size of the doilies, and the rings were attached to small, soft-plastic suction cups that were "suctioned" to the inside of the window panes. I thought they were lovely and have a number of them on the various windows of my ranch-style house. For the Christmas season I have crocheted various-sized doilies with metallic thread and sometimes frame the windows with Christmas lights to call attention to the doilies. Some of the doilies have blossoms in the center, and those I have crocheted with bright colors in honor of the season. They really add a festive, tasteful note to the window panes in any season. Doilies are not so old-fashioned, after all. |
