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!

POP Fashions



Well, I didn't quite have a knitted costume for a post dated October 31st, but this comes pretty close!

Matching argyle sweater and over-the-knee socks! YIKES! The book refers to them as "Stockings" like you would wear with garters... I don't even want to think about it.

The instructions call for the crosslines to be "knitted in" (yikes again) but you actually have the option of embroidering them in after the socks are completed.

* 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.
