Crochet - a Pinafore for Kitchen Duty


From Workbasket magazine, June 1950, a crocheted pinafore to use in the kitchen as either a washcloth or (maybe?) a potholder. Instructions on my Flickr account.

  1. Adorable but too cute to use.. I'd hang it on the stove handle but my luck hub would use it to wipe up paint spills :-)

  2. Cute, but maybe not very practical?

  3. Not in the least bit practical. I put this in the same category as the plastic dolls with the crocheted hoopskirts that hid toilet paper rolls!

  4. So cute!!! I have two of these from my grandmother's estate. They are white with red trim. One was used as a dishcloth, the other unused. I used them to dress some sock dolls I made. (Made from black socks, the dolls had corn-row hair made with braided yarn and beads. I suppose they would be considered racist, but I think they were really cute.)
