In 1848 Frances Lambert published My Crochet Sampler in which she described the crochet work up until this time as \u2018practiced in its most primitive shape\u2019. Crochet became a thriving cottage industry being used to supplement the income of the main breadwinner, as bedding provider or to clothe the family. However crochet seemed to draw the stigma of a low class second-rate type of textile, a situation that was relived when Queen Victoria learned to crochet herself. Fashions changed as the Edwardian era began and highly complex textures in pale colours or white replaced the strong colours favoured in Victorian times. By the inter war years few crochet patterns were published and most were a simplification of previous work. Interest in crochet revived in the late 40\u2019s until the 60\u2019s when again the strong colours of the era returned.

Basic \u2018granny squares\u2019 in vibrant colours were made into bags, caps and cardigans. This was the new fashion of the young in the late 60\u2019s especially in \u2018swinging London\u2019. Since then crochet continues much as it always has, as a hobby. Of course crochet doesn\u2019t have to be in full scale, take a look at our web shop or the patterns available as digital downloads here on our blog pages for miniature crochet ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
