THE VINTAGE KNITTER #11 RUFFLED APRONS

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—MATCHING RUFFLED APRONS FOR MOTHER, DAUGHTER AND DOLL—click on the photo.  From the 1950’s.
