VINTAGE KNITS FOR BABIES
Bibliophile price £6.50
Published price £20
Very much back in vogue, here are more than 30 patterns for timeless clothes and toys for babies aged 0-18 months, based on examples of babywear dating from Victorian times to the 1950s. Here are exquisite shawls and handmade garments knitted with love and care by family members and passed down as family heirlooms - snuggly shawls, christening outfits and lacey matinée sets to pretty dresses, cardigans, cosy coats and loveable toys. Traditional stitch patterns such as stripes, basket-weave, flag stitch and many lace patterns are combined with delightful details like ribbons and vintage buttons and all are practical and gentle on delicate skin including merino, cotton, cashmere, silk, alpaca and other mixes. There is a cuddly rabbit, teddy bear, little duffle coat and mittens, bloomers, a VE Day stripy cardigan to a 1947 Dior New Look bolero jacket in fluffy angora and everyday short trousers and cover-ups, pram suits and bonnets, bootees to a spectacular long christening dress set. A charming and nostalgic knitting pattern set, 144 very large pages, colour photos.
