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!

Mexican Medallion
Pretty hot pink stockinette sweater with black sunburst crochet design on the chest. The sunburst medallion is created apart from the sweater and then attached. The collar and cuffs are also crocheted, while the zig zag is embroidered.
And no, your eyes are not deceiving you - those are tassels at the bottom of the sweater.
Knit, crochet, embroidery, and tassels - you sure had to know your stitches to create a garment in the 60s!
* 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.
