In about 1978 I made myself a very simple Tunisian crochet cotton jacket. It was a pattern in a magazine...maybe one of those women's magazines, or maybe a crochet magazine? I cut out the pattern and mounted it to a piece of cardboard, but it's been lost over the years. The pattern was really nothing more than several rectangles sewn together; no special joining or fancy stitches. It had one (wooden?) button near the neck to hold it closed. I believe the colors used in the photo were stripes of light blue and beige, although I could be wrong. During my many moves, the jacket itself has disappeared. I've searched everywhere I know for this pattern, so now I'm going to start posting in Forums. (Even Ravelry couldn't help me!) Any hints, or even some commiserating over a lost pattern, would be most welcome! Thanks.

Pattern: Vintage Daisy Potholder by Maggie Weldon 2010. I used worsted weight yarns to increase the size. Favorite colors of recipient. Will buy a 16 inch round pillow insert before closing.

This was a challenge for me. I found this pattern in a booklet (Coats Sewing Group #920 Bold Crochet Motifs) a friend gave to me a while back. It took a couple tries to start. It uses UK stitch terminology, but US measurements. There are no specific instructions to actually join the motifs, only instructed to follow the photo. Simply titled "Coffee Table Mat". I chose to make a smaller doily, just to see if I could. Yay!
