Description: They have used Jean Shrimpton to model this rather plain V-neck cardigan; she did appear in Patons Stitchcraft magazines in the early sixties, and it's easy to see how she soon became the world's most highly paid model - so strikingly lovely. All of the the impact of this design is achieved through the tweedy yarn. Bracken Tweed was an exceedingly nice yarn - you need to substitute something like Rowan Felted Tweed - but check your tension - as you can see, Bracken was a fairly dense DK whereas Rowan's is equally lovely but a lighter weight DK. |

Plain knit cardigan and skirt suit in a bouclé yarn. The required tension for Whirligig yarn in general on 4mm needles pushes it from a DK into a worsted/Aran weight yarn type - slub yarns tend to require slightly looser knitting; however this design is knitted on slightly smaller needles making the tension fall within the Double Knitting range. |

Description: Fair-isle sweater with pleasing two-colour repeat. More traditionally this might have been made in less bright yet more contrasting colours such as (undyed sheep) shades of dark brown and cream. The sweater is straight - a simple drop-shoulder T-shape, (I think the photo could be deceptive, making it look like it has a narrower waist, widening at the armholes). |

Description: This is a set designed to be knitted on machines, but could fairly easily be used for hand knitting if you have an idea of the machine knitting vocabulary (for example "push xxx needles" means "cast on xxx stitches"). It is a 4 ply yarn so not impossibly fine for hand knitting. |

Description:
Plain cardigan with cabled sleeves. The 1980s saw what I believe to be the first manifestation of an interest in retro styles; this was styles of the 1940s - with narrow skirts and square shoulders (somewhat ahead of the huge padded shoulders that became the 1980s trademark). This pattern is one of Sirdar's "Nostalgia" series. |

Description:
Short sleeved ribbed sweater with an embroidered plain yoke section. The 1980s saw what I believe to be the first manifestation of an interest in retro styles; this was styles of the 1940s* - with narrow skirts and square shoulders (somewhat ahead of the huge padded shoulders that became the 1980s trademark). This pattern is one of Sirdar's "Nostalgia" series. Note that this particular style with small panels of fair-isle were popular in the forties because you could easily cheer up a sweater in utility colours with small amounts of more colourful wool. This could be either reclaimed wool - or "mending cards" of yarn which were not rationed at all - commercial yarn companies responded by producing "mending cards" in all kinds of wild colours which fitted perfectly with the multicoloured designs. The original forties sweaters would have been in 3 or 4 ply fingering yarns rather than double knitting. |

Description: Sweater with a vertical "bouquet" eyelet pattern panels. The lace is sewn on afterwards; it was a popular trend in the early 1980s to embellish knitwear with lace, or ribbons threaded through eyelet holes. The pattern calls for about 8 metres of lace if you want to do this. |

Description: Gloves for men, ladies, and juniors.The gloves are knitted over 4 needles.
So what makes them riding gloves you ask? Well, they are made using a yarn designed specially for the purpose (Strutt's Glove Cord), which has a special scrooped* finish (who knew?). I think my Father had some of this type of glove in silk (or possibly Strutt's Glove Cord - who knows?): *Scroop is a term used to describe a finish with synthetic fibers and silk. Scroop can be induced in silk in two ways: one way is to leave the gum of the silk (sericin) behind and not remove it, and the other way is by treating silk with organic acid such as formic, lactic, citric or acetic and drying without washing. In case of synthetic fibers, cohesive agents are used to increase the fiber-to-fiber friction. and this also increases scroop. If a fabric is made from a yarn having high scroop a harsh handle is produced. |

Note that although the pattern quantities are in grams, the pattern is from the 1960s - that's because these were French imports - Pingouin taking the country by storm - the second wave after the Battle of Hastings. |

Description: Lovely late fifties/early sixties style dress. It is knitted in an appealing light weight bouclé yarn, for which it may be hard to fine a direct replacement; there are quite a few DK bouclé types available and it may be best to check a tension square of your chosen yarn and adjust the size that you knit accordingly. The pattern is in fairly good condition but with the all-too-familiar horizontal crease which only affects the front photo not the instructions. |

is turned inside out to form a double thickness stocking stitch scarf.

Description: Fifties fitted cardigan in ribbed lace stitch worked on large needles. It's worth mentioning that the yarn quantities and needle size are somewhat contradictory - 11 oz (308g) is very little for a long-sleeved cardigan in a thick yarn and yet the needle size is large. I can only conclude that this is a double knitting yarn knitted on large needles to make the required tension. |
