Groovy Crochet Baby and
Toddler Patterns
Groovy crochet was an awesome website
that collected a number of patterns from the sixties and seventies.
However, after being hacked by an unscrupulous person, the site was
inevitably taken down. There is a wonderful website called, "http://www.archive.org"
that continues to document a number of different websites, as well as audio
and video files that are no longer on the web. Many of Groovy
Crochet's pages are stored on Archive.org. I have added many of the
great patterns to Fun Crochet along with a link to the directions found at
Archive.org's Groovy Crochet pages. As you can easily tell, many of
the patterns that were designed in the sixties and seventies are completely
in style and fashionable today. Enjoy!

nice new variation on the theme of double crochet shells.
