Old and New Favorites, Book No. 173 (1941) is a classic wartime collection from The Spool Cotton Company featuring “Nation-Wide Favorites Repeated by Request.”

This popular booklet brings together well-loved crochet designs for tablecloths, bedspreads, luncheon sets, chair sets, and doilies. The yellow cover highlights a selection of these timeless projects — from formal tablecloths and elegant bedspreads to practical chair sets and delicate doilies — all worked in bedspread-weight crochet cotton with steel hooks.

A wonderful compilation of the patterns American crocheters loved most in the early 1940s, perfect for anyone building a collection of Spool Cotton classics.
