The Fleisher College Robe -- Vintage Crochet Patterns for School, Club and Sports Team Insignias

Originally published circa 1910, this rare crochet book was produced by Fleisher Yarns as a promotion for their yarn products. Referred to as "robes," this booklet shows how to crochet blankets and pillows with the colors and letters of your favorite sports team, school, academy, college, institution, society or club. Directions include a chart containing letters A-Z along with their measurements for each project, instructions for joining colors, and easy-to-follow crochet instructions. Examples of completed robes (blankets) and pillow are shown for Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Princeton, and Bryn Mawr. Perfect for covering up for cool weather sporting events, crocheting in memory of your alma mater, gifting to your upcoming graduate or making for your favorite club's fund raising event -- all with a bit of vintage Edwardian style!
