THE VINTAGE KNITTER #10: FLUFFY RUFFLES

Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

CALLING ALL CROTON KNITTERS: Continuing our new series here at EverythingCroton: THE VINTAGE KNITTER! We got the idea when Hallie Flanagan Wolfe of hallieflanaganwolfegardens.com, recently donated a small cache of dogeared but very interesting vintage knitting and crochet magazines (and an envelope of clippings we’ve just discovered!) from the 1940's through the 1960's. Some are gorgeous—others are wild and wacky like this one—FLUFFY RUFFLES! For your windows! For your flower pots! From the late 1940’s. Click on the photo for instructions and print. Thanks again Hallie! This one REALLY made us smile!
