Vintage Knits
30 Knitting Designs from Rowan for Men and Women
Glorifying the recovered pleasures of fine cloth, rich texture, and a relaxed
fit, this collection of vintage patterns draws its inspiration from the charm,
simplicity, and elegance of mid-20th-century clothing. Rejuvenated by the postwar
years, men and women embraced styles that captured feminine appeal and masculine
exuberance, with well-tailored designs and graceful finishing touches that are
re-created here. The 31 patterns in this volume—from cardigans and jackets
to scarves and pullovers—have been inspired by old photographs, archival
patterns, and classic Hollywood films and have been adapted for modern figures
and contemporary knitters.
Contributors: Kaffe Fassett, Sarah Dallas, Kim Hargreaves, Martin Storey, Sharon
Peake, Louisa Harding, Brandon Mably, and Lucinda Guy are all established, prominent
knitwear designers.
