Vintage summer knitting pattern links
Wow, thanks for all the support regarding the Rumplestiltskin Incident. I really appreciate your thoughts and/or indignation on the matter, not to mention suggestions for other places to shop in the Sacramento area. ^__^ I’ll finish replying to the comments really soon. Until then, please enjoy some vintage pattern links:
Via Dress A Day’s Friday links, two cute patterns for warm-weather cardigans provided by Little Grey Bungalow. I think both cardigans would be perfectly at home on the Ravelry Anthropologie Group’s Cardigan Knitalong.
Courtesy of KnitWiki, which I just discovered today: “Vest And Panties”, which in modern American English translates to “Long Camisole with Weird-Looking Shorts”. Ravelry link here. As you can see here, the “vest” is pretty cool looking when finished. Ravelry, I hope there are five more completed “vests” for me to look at by the end of summer. Get working on it.
Then, the Three Hour Sweater, here. The illustration doesn’t look too promising, but several Ravelers have made pretty cute versions: here, and a less fitted but equally cute one accessible without a Ravelry profile here. If you read the pattern, though, it calls for worsted weight on size 10 needles and gets a gauge of 4st/in. I\’m not really sure how that works.
And finally, slightly less-vintage vintage patterns (from the mid-70’s). When you’re quite finished snickering over the prospect of crocheting yourself a Myra Breckenridge bathing suit, you’ll notice that there are quite a few designs on this page that have more-or-less come back in style, albeit in different colors and lengths.
ETA: WHAT THE HECK, JERK SPAMBOTS. NOBODY WHO CAME HERE FOR VINTAGE PATTERN LINKS WANTS TO GAMBLE ONLINE. I HATE YOU SO MUCH.
