Mary Card’s Crochet Patterns
This is a very special issue of Needlecraft in my opinion, because it has not one, but TWO projects designed by Mary Card, with instructions for making them. Mary, in my opinion, was one of the greatest crochet designers of all time. She was an Australian designer with a long and distinguished career; her accomplishments included the publication of books both in Australia and the USA. Her work is outstanding and is still highly collected and sought after by needlework enthusiasts today.
British Coat of Arms Crochet Pattern by Mary Card

Dragonfly Centerpiece Crochet Pattern by Mary Card
Her second project is called “Dragonfly Centerpiece”. It measures about 24 inches in diameter. There is a photo of the finished project. There are also written instructions telling how to do the crochet work.
