The ones that started it all!
The whole reason I learned to knit was just for this pattern.
Maybe someday I'll get around
to making it!

About Knit Retro!
A place for those who love the 1960s, knitting, or both!
Personally, I just love the 1960s! The music, the furniture, the jewelry, the CLOTHES...! Ah yes, the clothes. From demure to outrageous, "smart" to "kicky" - the 1960s had it all.
Of course, I love knitting too, and Knit Retro! was designed as a way to bring both together.
Vintage patterns are great because they were intended to be made and worn by real people - not runway models - so they give a good picture of mid-century life. Everyday fashions - fun, elegant, odd, beautiful - all in wonderful 1960s vintage grooviness. And most of them can still be worn today.
There will be both knitting and crochet patterns shown, but it will be heavy on the knitting!
Stop in every once in a while and take a look at what knitting was - and can be again!
* Patern Copies - I actually have most of the patterns for the clothing shown here, but due to copyright laws,
I cannot copy/scan/post any of them. Please don't ask. However, I will be happy to let you know the name and details of the magazine or book
it came from
and perhaps you can locate it through an antique store or online.
