Am i using the cast off stitches that are at the top of this column or what stitches am i matching, otherwise, is it the right leg matching to left leg stitches that its talking about? Thank you. Ive restarted this like 4x already 😭 im losing the spark to work on it.

i’m working on a pattern and it started with cast on 82 then rib for several rows with no increases or decreases. the next line is “rib to last 12 sts, slip these 12 onto a safety pin and leave (58sts)” am i missing something because 58+12 is not 82?

Hello! Does anyone by chance happen to have the vogue knitting spring/summer 2007 cable chart? I've attached a picture of the pattern.

I have the physical magazine which directs you to vogue knitting's website for the cable chart. This unfortunately is now a broken link. I've emailled vogue knitting twice and had no response. I've also tried wayback machine and didn't have any luck there - but this could be me as I'm not very good using that site!

Thanks everyone!

This was pretty far back on the wall, and the floor was piled with things I couldn't step over, so I couldn't turn it around to see what the back looked like. But by looking it up on Google, the brand is called Spice of Life and it's 100% acrylic.

I didn't buy it, but would love to knit a modified one for myself! I say modified because I don't want to get swallowed up with unflattery 😅 also, I want to try to make this from wool, too.

If you have any tips for me, plz let me know! I've never actually took on a vintage project without a pattern.

Hello,

I would like to make this pattern (it's crochet I know but I thought I'd ask here since I knit too) and I'm having a hard time finding what yarn weight to choose, as well as the size of the crochet hook. If I have to guess size G is a 4.25 but I'm unsure. It's my first vintage pattern so sorry if it's a stupid question!

“GEM” HAT and BAG YARN, Article 144.
12 (13, 14) skeins Pink or any color desired.
or
“DAWN” BULKY YARN 12 (13, 14) skeins Shell Pink.
Wooden crochet hook No. 13 and aluminum crochet hook size G.
4-1 ¼ inch pearl buttons.

Help with reading this pattern, doing the biggest size.

Do i p2 and then do the 2nd parenthesis or just do the purple highlight???

I need a replacement for the yarn in the title. Production is discontinued, and deadstock yarn is quite expensive. I prefer yarn available in European Union. Thanks in advance 🌷❤️

Found this free pattern from 1952, and finally finished it. Used it as procrastination while studying.

I love the description, "ideal for the convalescent who needs a light and pretty shoulder covering." and the picture really sells this IMO.

Actually really easy and fast knit, if you dont put it down for multiple weeks at a time. I added 10 extra rows for each cuff, to make them a bit longer.

Thirfted the needles (2 1/4 mm) and yarn.

The actual pattern is at Trove, an online archive of old newspapers, etc.

I hope others are inspired to knit this, I think its so pretty and versatile.

I think it would look great in greens/blues, as the lace reminds me of waves.

Or a blood red/bone white/black, as the bell sleeves look very victorian goth to me.

I’m in the process of trying to choose an appropriate yarn for this pattern but I can’t seem to work out the gauge. Most modern patterns specify which needles they use for the gauge whereas this one does not. Can I assume that the intended gauge is 7.5 sts per inch on No 10 (or 3.25 mm) knitting needles? Looks like it’s 4 rows per inch. Any help is greatly appreciated! First time trying to use a vintage knitting pattern and it already feels like a steep learning curve. Thank you :)

Hiya! I know that there is the Susan crawford pattern coming out in her colorwork book, but I wanted to know if anyone had a copy of the original pattern. Thank you :)

Do you have a preference for wool yarn? This might be one of my fav types:

Which do you prefer?

Hey everyone! I have a bit of a knitting challenge and I'm hoping someone here might have some advice or suggestions. I came across this sweater that I really love, but unfortunately, it's out of stock everywhere. I reached out to my mom and she's willing to knit it for me. The only thing is, she needs a knitting pattern to work from.

So here's where I need your help: Does anyone know how I can get a knitting pattern for this sweater? I have detailed photos of it, so I'm wondering if there's an app, a service, or even a kind soul who might be able to create a knitting pattern based on the photos? Any advice or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🧶😊

I'm knitting a blouse with a 1940s pattern, but I don't quite understand what "drop yarn" means due to language barrier. Is it just a drop stitch? Thanks in advance

update: Thanks to all the helpful comments I FOUND THE PATTERN!!

I will leave here the pattern and also make another post to try to translate it since it's in german and I don't understand a bit.

update 2: I took down the pattern picture since u/Talvih told me that it's still covered by copyrigh laws. But if someone asks me I could share it without problem (as friends ;) you know)

^(Holi, I need your help. I've been obsessed with this sweater for months. I stumbled upon it on Pinterest and it lead me to a ravelry page that specified that the pattern was from a 1954 German magazine ") *^(Constanze Strickmoden Heft 4 by Gruner + Jahr AG)*^(") ^(Here ravelry page) ^(and unfortunately (but not surprising) it was discontinued.)

^(With this I've been looking for the issue 4 of this strikmoden magazine (from September 1954) around google but I could only find issue 14, 16, 2 and more actual issues, but not nº4. So I'm stuck with only this info and without ta way to obtain the pattern.)

^(So here is my plead. Can someone help me to find this magnificent pattern or, even better, issue 4? Thank you so much in advance)
