Here are three delightful crocheted accessories from the 1940s: "spats to turn your shoes into warm boots, a cover for your umbrella in chenille and a bun snood to match".
The umbrella cover is crocheted in Chenille yarn - lovely looking but would get rather soggy when wet...
The pattern also includes this lovely two-way hat, which can be worn on the back of the head, or rolled up and worn as a pill box.
