Additional information about this pattern: I have the original copy of Pineapple Crochet Baby Set. There is no copyright date, although I am making an educated guess that is is circa 1940. It is a pattern sheet 21 1/2 inches by 16 inches. I have re-worked the pattern for today's crochet terminology and also for the yarn and hook size. I have re-illustrated the pattern by colorizing the images. My HTML arrangement of this patterns, my added instructions, my research on hook and yarn, and my re-illustration of the images are 2008 Maria Merlino

Additional Information about this pattern: In my personal library I have the original McCall's Magazine, Fall-Winter 1963-64. The pattern was originally called Rose Headband and Muff. The instructions called for knitting much of the work. I converted all knitting to crochet. I re-worked the pattern for todays terminology and I also updated the yarn and hook size. I re-colorized the photo and drew on it. My HTML arrangement of these patterns ,my added instructions, my conversion of knitting to crochet and my re-colorized and drawn upon photo are 2008 by Maria Merlino

You'll be as proud as this this peacock when your guests OOH and AHH at the beauty and majesty of this fine feathered friend. This vintage pattern calls for a #30 thread and a # 10 hook, but feel free to use what ever thread you feel the best using. For a nice size piece, or if
you are afraid of thin thread, double your thread and use a larger hook.
