Vogue Knitting Vintage Collection: Classic Knits From the 1930s-1960s
They come from another time—but now they’re classics. Chic and stylish knits from the original Vogue Pattern Books of the 1930s–1960s return in an enchanting one-of-a-kind collection with more than 40 fabulous garments for everybody in the family. Fully illustrated, and updated with the latest yarns, this project book includes party dresses, pullovers, jackets and wraps for her; sweaters and vests for him; and sunsuits, caps, and booties for the baby. Among the perennial fashion winners: a short-sleeved silk top for spring, a chunky coat for fall, a cabled V-neck, a girl’s heart twinse
All the designs use a rib stitch which gives each jacket a flexible fit. To create the dressy Turtleback on the Town, use a yarn with a touch of glitter. For the baby jacket, use an extra soft DK yarn. If a yarn is soft and pliable, it will work well with these patterns. This is a pop-on garment that will quickly become your favorite!
