Description The Authors Reader Reviews TOC

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 this book youll 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.

Retro Knits collects 50 vintage patterns for items as stylish today as they were in their time. Organized by decade, these patterns have been culled from vintage pattern books published by yarn makers, and feature old photos, pattern book covers, and original instructions.

The patterns--for hats, mittens, socks, scarves, sweaters, vests, and shawls, all picked to exemplify the era of origin--also offer modern yarn and needle suggestions, new schematics, and updated sizing.

Kari Cornell is a writer, and avid knitter. She is the editor of For the Love of Knitting: A Celebration of the Knitter’s Art and Knitting Yarns and Spinning Tales: A Knitter’s Stash of Wit and Wisdom, and KnitKnacks: Much Ado About Knitting. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Jean Lampe has been knitting since the age of five and designing her own patterns for more than 20 years. She has been editing patterns for knitting magazines and books since 1995.
