This is a great collection of vintage knitting patterns. Anyone who produces period clothing and any student of knitting history will find the patterns contained here invaluable. Students of style history will want this book as well, because many of the centuries-old styles can be seen today on the runway. To recreate the garments you need a working knowledge of knitting, as many of the patterns are not big on hand-holding. All in all, a must-have for serious needleworkers.

I collect vintage (and I do mean OLD) patterns for knitting. My first knitting book when I was a kid in the 60's was a 1948 book called "Modern Knitting" that featured comically out-of-date jumpers and weird weird hats. (A knitted fez. A knitted Robin Hood forage cap. Yes, really.)But everything old is new again...and knitting is enjoying a rebirth. Oh boy, that's good news. So is this book.It is very hard to find kid's sized ordinary patterns and useful baby things, plus men's work knits like mittens, gloves, scarves. I used to use my old vintage book a lot for these things because the patterns for new knits just didn't have what I wanted. So I am really glad this book was published with so many vintage patterns in a nice new binding. (my antique ones are crumbling!)If you do historical recreations or theater, this book will also be of tremendous value.
