Vintage knitting patterns from the 1930s, 40s and 50s have a timeless, irresistible charm. These designs for women are fabulously feminine, flattering and snug, but trying to knit from original patterns can be frustrating as they can be written with older verbiage and not sized for the more modern women. The answer to these hurdles lies within these pages. Each pattern has been subtly simplified using easily sourced modern yarns and offer instructions for sizes ranging from 32"-42" bust measurements. The result it a delightful celebration of vintage style that is guaranteed to inspire knitters to take up needles in pursuit of the elegance of the bygone eras. 22 patterns—96 pages | Softcover Retail: $19.95 Item No. 31173

"I’ve long been fascinated with knitwear and fashion from the 1930’s-1950’s – a period of unequaled glamour. In this book, Lise-Lotte Lystrup not only presents a wonderful sample of the flattering, feminine styles of the era, but she’s already done the work translating the older patterns to modern yarns and sizing. It’s a win-win! Timeless fashion, simple instruction – as Ella Fitzgerald sang, 'who could ask for anything more?' This is a must-have for fashionistas and vintage fashion fans."
