OPIS:

Anyone with an eye for style will be delighted with this book of twenty-three original knitting designs based on the look of the 1920s and 30s.

Nancy Vale, with many years of experience both of making and designing hand-knitted garments, has been inspired by the appeal of the 1920 - 40 fashions to create her own styles for the modern knitter. Here she explains how to make clothes to suit all occasions and tastes, including lacy feminine jumpers, stylish waistcoats for men and good-looking, practical clothes for both sexes. There are sweaters with long and short sleeves - Fair Isles, patterned, plain-cardigans, slipovers, waistcoats, hats and scarves. Clear and detailed instructions, all of which have been tested by experienced knitters, are provided for each item, together with photographs, colour combination suggestions, Fair Isle charts and additional hints where helpful. A useful introduction also gives general advice on hand knitting, using patterns and making and caring for woollen garments.
