WOW! Here is a great deal on a lot of vintage instruction booklets that focus on kitchen potholders and mats. This lot of hard find booklets for making those wonderful Potholders (pot holders from 1955 and also has funny faces), plate covers (with Swedish Embroidery from 1953), Pocket Potholders from 1950 and Hot Plate Mats from 1950. The golden age of crochet work for your Grandmother! All these booklets show some wear and creases. The Pocket Potholders has a torn back page at the top corner of the booklet and a few words of direction are missing. Still for their age, these booklets are still in good usable shape!


Pocket Potholders 1950, 15 pages. Crochet hand sized pot holders with front and back sections with thumb in different shapes and colors. Great for gifts and bazaars. Or be inventive, by omitting the thumb, they could be lined to make change purses, looped onto a belt, wonderful small gifts for children to carry toys and snacks. Hang in the bathroom to hold soaps, in the kitchen or bedroom to hold spice bottles or other small items.
