Patterns for the Dolman Bolero from 1952, the Men s Zip-up Cardigan from 1939, the Boy s Cowboy Pullover from 1962, the 1920s Mildred Scarf, the Women s Wolsey Swim Suit from the 1930s, and many more have been culled from a collection of vintage pattern books. The knitting instructions, which include new schematics, updated sizing, and yarn and needle recommendations, are illustrated with the original images.
