Vintage patterns

Today I was scratching through my pattern book stash (I do this from time to time). I have always loved vintage patterns, and have some books dating back to the 1930s, when most knitting was done in 2 or 3 ply, and double knit had not been heard of!

I found this American crochet book, that dates from the 1970s. Hope you like the patterns.

 

 

 

Here's a jersey for your man, made with squares.

 

 

   

 

 Two coats for the dogs in your life

 

 

 

A lovely long skirt to wear on winter evenings.

 

 

 

 

A blanket to keep you warm. I love the way the colours are laid out.

 

 

Finally, a cushion that would use up all your yarn scraps

 

 

This proves that good things never go out of fashion! If anyone needs a pattern, please let me know, and I will copy it for you.
