First thing to do is to prepare the materials for vintage crochet. The most important material to use in crocheting is the crochet hook. There are different kinds and sizes of hooks. You also need the yarn or thread, tape measure and card board patterns or cut outs.
Start crocheting by putting a slip knot loop on the hook. Pull another loop through the 1st loop then do again the process to come up with a chain of proper length. Then the chain is turned and done in rows or it can be attached to the start of the row with a slip stitch and done again in rounds.
The stitch is done by pulling one or more loops through every loop of the string. The end of the stitch results in only one loop that is left on the hook.
Another VINTAGE CROCHET TECHNIQUE is the vintage crochet doily. This technique involves complex lace work that uses subtle threads. It uses crochet thread, preferably cotton or nylon that is readily available in spools at any craft stores. For a more vintage look, you can use white or cream colored thread.
Vintage doilies have different sizes, designs, shapes and even the materials that you use may have various types also.
