I have had a few requests for patterns since my post on
Thimble Holders (Crocheted Wishbone Thimble Holders).
I have also had an email from someone who lost the
treasure (crocheted wishbone thimble holder with
a crocheted heart-shaped pincushion attached)
they were given by their grandmother and
sadly lost it in a house move.
I will be posting a pattern very soon
when I will be back home.
I have been away for the past week.
I hope that you will check back again - when I
am able to update.

I have had a search through my patterns and
while I do not have the same
pattern as the "wishbone thimble holder with
heart-shaped pincushion", I have what I
think is the next best thing.
I have found a vintage pattern for a crocheted
"powder bag", and instead of filling it with
powder, you could fill it with polyfiberfil.
It can be attached to the crocheted wishbone
thimble holder for which I have
previously posted the pattern.
Below is a pattern for a "crocheted pineapple
pincushion" which is from - Star Book No. 74 Fair
& Bazaar Suggestions - see further below.
The pattern does not give the finished size but if
you look at the cover picture, you can tell that it
would be approx. 6 inches long.
If you are a skilled crocheter, then you may be
able to adjust the size in accordance with the
wishbone thimble holder.
If you look again at the "wishbone thimble
holder with heart-shaped pincushion", you
will see that the crochet work is extremely
fine (pincushion 4 inches in length).
So a lot depends on the size thread and
gauge hook that you use as to what size the
finished item would be.
I hope that this has helped those who are
looking for crochet patterns for sewing accessories.
Don't forget to click on the pictures for larger image.

I have included a picture of some of my collection of
pincushions which shows a lot of these vintage
crocheted pineapple pincushions.
They all vary in size as you can see.

I'm not sure my comment got posted. I wanted to thank you for finding these patterns for the crochet wishbone pin cushion holder. I am still looking for the one like my grandmother made, but have not had much luck. I downloaded the patterns that you have found and will hopefully be able to put something together. Thank you again. Marge
You are most welcome Marge! Goodluck with your continued search! I might find other patterns too!
