Hey, Roberta! I'm sending you this link for free vintage patterns.

Keep in mind that these old patterns call for size 30 thread, or smaller (the bigger the number, the smaller the thread) so, just use #10 thread & a size 7 hook. Your results will be a bit larger in size, because of the larger thread size, but nothing major. There are a lot of motif spreads, but several that are worked in continuious rounds, (the pineapple one, for example)there are lots of patterns to look at, so have fun!
Best, Bea
