My mother in law has then pattern tested for me and we are both happy with the results. I searched and searched with no luck but with a bit of experimenting I’ve been able to recreate them myself. She had made them years ago but had lost the original patterns. Crochet is just a few basic stitches so it is possible to see what’s been done just by looking carefully.Ī few months ago my mother in law gave me a couple of tiny doily style motifs and asked if I could find the patterns for her online. As I’ve learnt to crochet and have more experience however, I have gradually come to see how she did it. I used to find this ability amazing, I couldn’t see how she could possibly recreate an item just by looking at it. She could work from a chart or she would recreate a piece from an actual existing piece of crochet or even from a photograph. My nan wasn’t a big fan of written patterns though. She did the whole range from the very fine stuff to wooly and warm. When I was little my maternal grandma was also a great crocheter. I’m more about chunkier yarns with hooks in the 4mm to 6mm range, I like making blankets and hats normally. This is a very different style to me, I don’t normally have the patience for such fine work. She does mostly fine crochet with teeny tiny hooks and crochet cotton and makes all sorts of pretty things. My mother in law is a wonderful crocheter.
