Boho beautiful crochet

We recently came across a copy of the Sunday Post dated 26 December 1971 containing a fashion feature on crochet and hand knits which were immensely popular at the time (we older frockers well remember the original trend!) Fast forward 42 years to December 2013 and we are still finding crochet to be a boho beautiful addition to the winter (as well as the summer festival) wardrobe.
