Vintage clothing has gained enormous fashion credibility over the past few years. Not everyone can afford the expensive price tags often attached to vintage designer clothing, but it is possible to achieve that vintage look without spending a fortune. Vintage Knits presents 30 exquisite knitting patterns for sweaters, cardigans, jackets and tops, all based on original postwar designs, updated and interpreted for today's modern yarns and contemporary colour palette. Extremely wearable and highly desirable garments for women of all ages range from a delicate lace-trimmed cotton camisole to an elegant cotton jacket with chenille edging. The vintage look is set to be popular for seasons to come and Vintage Knits is a collection of the most desirable and accessible of these classic knits.

5.0 out of 5 stars
welcome to the fabulous forties,
This review is from: Vintage Knits (Paperback)
Vintage knitting patterns offer an intrigueing challenge to knitters who adore well designed, body concious,elegant fashions and an emphasis on technique. That said, adapting the original patterns to modern materials, measurements and sensibilities can be overwhelming even to the experienced knitter. S.Dallas has done a fantastic job with this compilation of reworked designs from the 30's-50's. I have made two of the sweaters in this volume and found instructions and specifications to be clear, easy to follow and to produce well fitted garment for my admittedly larger body. Highly recommended for the intermediate and experienced knitter who cherishes design and technique. Some designs also look appropriate for advanced beginners wanting a little challenge
