I am not a person who does crochet but looking at some of the crochet of
today and comparing it with that of sixty years ago it does not seem as though much has changed.
The pattern below is one that could be adjusted from a necklace which was to go round a plain
dress to one that could be joined together to make a yoke round a dress or jumper.
I have also known this pattern to be made as a cluster and put on a large pin to dress up a plain
black dress.
We had to do many things during WW2 to make ourselves look decent and to make it look as though
we had plenty of clothes.

In the photo below you will see how crochet has been set to brighten up a dull jumper to
give it a new lease of life.
It has to be remembered that these patterns are sixty years old.
