Vintage Doilies to Crochet - A Collection of Doilies, Chair Sets, Runners, Placemats, Runners Crochet Patterns from the 1940's and 1950's Review: Easy instructions. - Beautiful patterns. Review: Not for a beginner, but lovely patterns. - This collection of projects has many lovely doilies, but the instructions (for example, the oval doily) say things like 'increase as needed' or 'add stitches so work will lie flat'. Obviously, an experienced crocheter would nod sapiently and murmur 'Of course!' Me, I was lost. I got the Reader's Digest book Complete Guide to Needlework, which has more enlightening instructions (with photos), and that helped a lot. Many of these projects might need stiffening or starching as well, but I haven't done any of those. Still, I love it being on my Kindle, where I can read my book while crocheting, but if I forget the proper stitch for the next row I can just navigate to the exact page, refresh my memory, and then back to my book!

Very excited with this book having first ordered it for my Kindle. Before I start crocheting any of the patterns could someone please clarify whether the instructions are Am erican or English. Looking forward to making fine items like I was originally taught to do.
