Fashion - 1970 s. Scots get hooked on Irish Crochet

Fashion - 1970 s. Scots get hooked on Irish Crochet. Crochet was probably invented by the Irish. Who elso would even think of knitting a lot of holes together? But the net result is beautiful, especially when its a cape, crocheted out of mohair. Even if you haven t a stitch on underneath, you ll still be as warm as Irish whiskey. The finely worked stitches took 10 days to complete - so the cost of £ 70 is modest. April 1978 P017320
