    About this ebook

    This vintage book contains a collection of knitting patterns for a diverse range of “smart” tops for women. With complete directions and helpful diagrams, this book is ideal for those with little previous experience, and would make for a wonderful addition to collections of knitting literature. Contents include: “Knitting”, “Moss Jumper”, “Sweater”, “Two-Colour Jumper”, “Sleeveless”, “Soft Angora”, “For The Yoke & Sleeves”, “Cable Jumper”, “Lace-Stitch Jumper”, and “Bobbles for a Pretty Jumper”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on knitting.
