Create stunning lace-like projects in record time with Exciting Jiffy-Lace!

Published by C. J. Bates & Son in the early 1970s, this out-of-print booklet introduces the clever Jiffy-Lace technique — a fast hybrid method that uses one large knitting needle and one crochet hook together. You place loops on the knitting needle, then work beautiful crochet stitches (single crochet, shells, popcorns) into groups of loops for quick, textured results.

This collection includes both beginner and advanced designs featuring the signature Jiffy-Lace stitch:

Highlights include:

• Rainbow Ripple Afghan — a vibrant striped throw with dramatic fringe
• New Swing Cape and The Cape’s the Thing — dramatic fringed capes with button closures
• Triangular Shawl with crocheted fringe
• Child’s 2-Piece Dress — striped vest and flared skirt
• Jiffy Lace Smock — a stylish top with color blocking
• Baby Set — sacque, bonnet, and booties with ribbon trim
• Hat and Scarf set
• Lovely Jiffy-Lace Trim — elegant collar and cuffs with popcorn stitches and pearls
• Christmas Tree ornament
• Sunshine Afghan and Pillow — bold multi-color striped set with fringe

A fun and innovative vintage technique book for crafters who enjoy combining knitting and crochet for fast, beautiful results.
