Retro Knits
by Kari Cornell & Jean Lampe, Editors Everything old is new again in this collection of fun, hip knitting patterns dating from the early 1900s through the 1970s. Within the pages of the book you'll find everything from the pattern for those classic embroidered mittens your grandmother knitted to the alluring mohair sweater your mother stitched during her college days. Organized by decade, these patterns have been culled from vintage pattern books published by yarn makers, featuring old photos, pattern book covers, and original instructions. The patterns—for hats, mittens, socks, scarves, sweater, vests and shawls, all picked to exemplify the era of origin—also offer modern yarn and needle suggestions, new schematics and updated sizing. 50 patterns—160 pages | Softcover Item No. 31113 Retail: $24.95 Your Cost: $14.97 Save 40%
