This lovely 16-page vintage crochet booklet, Nostalgic Crochet (SP-36), was published in 1982 by Craft Course Publishers and designed by Olympia Zachario. It features 29 romantic, Victorian-inspired projects with a soft, old-fashioned aesthetic.

The book includes a wonderful mix of:

• Christmas ornaments (snowflakes, angels, snowbirds, candy canes, bells, basket ornaments, and Christmas balls)
• A beautiful Christmas wreath and bell garland
• Elegant pillows (Butterfly, Star Doily, and Diamond Filet)
• Scented sachets (Star, Square, and Rose)
• Book covers and suncatchers
• Filet crochet “Peace on Earth” banner
• Several edgings and a flower motif

It comes with clear instructions, stitch guides, and full-size patterns. The designs combine delicate thread crochet with fabric, ribbons, and silk flowers for that signature nostalgic look. Dedicated by the designer to her grandmother who taught her to crochet.
