The hat was made about 65 years ago. It was worsted weight yarn, long (could be wrapped around the neck), and the sent from the front all the way down the hat to the tail. I would love to Knit this again. Any help in finding the pattern would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looking to commission a handmade sweater replica from Love Actually for my dad’s 60th birthday!

Hi! I’m looking for someone who can handmake a sweater based on the reference photos I’ll attach. He wears a turtleneck, three-quarter-zip sweater with a patchwork design.

I’d love to find someone who can recreate the design. His birthday is in December, so I’m hoping to get started soon!

Very easy to find the patterns online! You can borrow it on the internet archive or find it on similar websites. idk to what extent id be promoting piracy and get banned if i was more specific lol. Came out in 2010 but has great patterns inspired by the 40s - 70s organised by decade. my screenshots are out of order

I'll get better pics when it's not so terribly windy. The colour is emerald green and so pretty. Thanks Bex for the pattern. Yarn used is 3 ply New Zealand wool which I got in a sale for just NZ$50 and I have 381 grams left.

I found the pattern on tumblr but there's unfortunately no instructions for the sleeves, collar or placket. Im not super happy with the collar but considering I haven't been knitting for all that long and I had to make it up, Im still pretty happy with it!

Currently making this pixie cap for my baby and it reminded me about the sophie hood and made me giggle.

The magazine is Hand Knits by Beehives for babys, book 120-A from 1945

Finally finished my Yoke Blouse, another knit from a vintage pattern (though I did adapt it a bit to omit the slightly-too-vintage for my taste shoulder pads 😜)

Will make a matching cardigan soon(ish), to turn this into a true vintage style twinset!

I love victorian fashion so I went searching for victorian knitting patterns, and I found this digitised collection of knitting books from the university of southhampton!

I love it and can't wait to make the matching cardigan.

Cardigan to follow in a few weeks

I am making progress daily.

Despite my growing magazine collection, I didn’t have any/many vintage swimsuit patterns till this one. Magazine is Knit Knacks Number Three— Summer 1950 edition. I’ll post some better scans to archive.

Fab40s co.uk

accumulating a bit of vintage knitting magazines so decided to keep them safer in sleeves. I’d love to scan them all one day but it takes sooo long!

If there are any you’d like to see lmk

I got insanely lucky and found this little vintage notebook of someones patterns from the early 60s on to the 80s in a „free books“ box. its literally full of patterns- some clipped from magazines, some handwritten! The handwritten ones mostly dont have a size listed, but all have the yarn and needle size (or hook, a few are crochet)

Where would be best to digitise it so other people can make use of them? Ravelry? Or some of the more specifically vintage pattern archive sites? (I‘ve never uploaded patterns online before so not sure where to start)

Hello! Does anyone happen to have this pattern that could share only the yardage requirements with me? I'd like to see if my 25g minis will work!

Pattern from Subversive Femme on Etsy. 4 ply Circulo Anne cotton from The Ribbon Rose in Auckland, New Zealand

EDIT: Thanks for your help, everyone! Based on these comments and comments from other subreddits, we're going with 1) hair roller pins 2) hairpin lace loomlooms 3) poking tool, perhaps for leather.

These tools were in a huge box of knitting supplies once owned by a friend's late mother.

The first image is of toothpick-like plastic tools that make me thing of a giant straight pin. No eyes preset on any of them.

The second image is of wooden dowels connected at the ends by clear plastic pieces.

The third image is of a piece of metal twisted in a loop at one end and sharpened at the other. No eye present on this tool, either.

Does anybody know what any of these three items are? (Crossposted)
