Popcorn Pinwheel Bedspread
Are you looking for the pattern??
After seeing Frances Johnson’s creation,I must admit I was enamored when I saw the original YouTube video of Frances Johnson. After seeing the video, my quest began to hunt down the pattern. It wasn’t as easy as it should be but here are the results.
Google immediately served up these two:
- iOffer.com – Popcorn Pinwheel Bedspread Vintage Crochet Pattern for $3.00. This was a cumbersome process and not one I recommend. You have to wait for Karen’s Variety to respond before actually getting the pattern after payment. Her site, KarensVariety.com, offers it for the same price and provides immediate download after payment. However, for $7.00 you can download The Spool Cotton Company’s Bedspreads pamphlet which includes 10 additional patterns with the Popcorn Pinwheel Bedspread pattern.
- Vintage Home Arts via Amazon for $7.99 ($9.99 after adding shipping). Quite steep for one pattern.
Frankly, the best source for this pattern is one I found completely by accident. I was searching for doily place mat patterns and decided to buy The Crocheter’s Treasure Chest: 80 Classic Patterns for Tablecloths, Bedspreads, Doilies and Edgings (Dover Needlework). Imagine online pharmacy drug prices, online pharmacies that do not require a prescription buy lasix online purchase https://www.newyorkbanners.com/wp-content.php?=lasix-without-rx Family Drug Store, lasix 100 mg canadian pharmacy top online pharmacies that don t require a prescription my surprise when I found Popcorn Pinwheel on page 42. I spent a whopping $8.76 with free shipping.
I still plan to try a doily or two before I attempt something on this scale. But, as a result of my hunt for this one particular pattern, I now have a very nice stash of some wonderfully creative vintage crochet patterns. Now to see if I can actually hold and work that oh so tiny crochet hook…
Thank you for the information you provided in this blog, it will come in handy. I have just recently decided to finally try my hook at doilies….and I am finding that I really enjoy them. I have finished two and am on my third at this time. The smaller hook and thread were a bit awkward at first, but quickly began to feel normal. One thing I noticed, I use the finger between my index and ring fingers frequently on my hook hand when starting stitches that have a YO after chain stitches. This helps to keep the YO and loop on my hook in place, until I complete that first YO stitch. Other than that, much the same, just smaller stitches. It quickly becomes addictive. So…don’t pass up the chance to do a few for yourself.
