Simply Macramé by Pat Depke Books (Crafts, Macramé, c. 1988, macrame patterns, 80s crafts, home decor, Pat Depke, DIY macrame)

This pattern book, "Simply Macramé," is a collection of projects for home decor, holidays, and fashion accessories. Published by Pat Depke Books, it also includes a detailed guide to the basic knots used in macramé.

Review:
A solid, general-purpose macramé book from the tail end of the craft's first big wave of popularity. It offers a good variety of projects and serves as a great example of late 80s/early 90s "country" decor style.

Author summary:
Pat Depke Books was a significant publisher of instructional craft booklets, especially for macramé, throughout the 1970s and 80s. They were known for their accessible, project-based guides.

The collectible value is low. It is a common vintage craft booklet from a major craft publisher of the era. Its value is in its patterns and its historical interest as a representation of late-80s/early-90s macramé styles, which differ from the 70s look.
