Title A name given to the resource Priscilla Irish Crochet Collar Worked in Cotton Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thompson, Suzann Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Late 1980s Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 4 1/2 inches wide at middle back of collar 27 inches along inside edge of collar 1 7/8 to 2 inches across five-petal flowers Description An account of the resource My life-long fascination by Irish Crochet began in the 1980s. I wanted to try making an Irish crochet project in the traditional way: • using fine crochet cotton to crochet padded motifs, • basting the finished motifs right-side-down onto a stiff paper pattern, and • joining the motifs with crocheted mesh. I chose this collar from The Irish Crochet Book No. 2, reprinted in 1981 by House of White Birches, page 44, Figure 85, Coat Collar. The collar was for my mother, Anna Wirth Thompson. Looking back, it seems likely she already had the periwinkle silk jacket and skirt, because I must have used the jacket to make a paper pattern so the crocheted collar would fit the neckline just right. The bumps on the crocheted netting were meant to be Clones Knots, but I did not know how to finish them correctly. Later I learned how to make a Clones Knot properly. It should look more like a picot, and less like a thick spot in the chain. The original pattern book was titled Priscilla Irish Crochet Book No. 2, edited by Eliza Taylor, published in 1912 by the Priscilla Publishing Co., Boston, Mass. In 2025 this original was available for download from the Antique Pattern Library, https://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/pub/PDF/6-JA025PrisIrish2.pdf Provenance A statement of any changes in ownership and custody of the resource since its creation that are significant for its authenticity, integrity, and interpretation.
