A Library of FREE Vintage Knitting & Sewing Patterns
An adorable set of 4 knitting patterns for boys sleeveless sweaters from the 1940s. You will receive a PDF knitting pattern for the four sleeveless pullovers shown in the photos above. Each pattern sized for different ages from 6 through 10. These patterns are from a 1940's Hilde knitting booklet for youngsters. The booklet itself was well loved and is in very poor condition with the cover missing, torn pages and stapled together. I'm recovering as many of the patterns as I can from this adorable collection and creating PDF versions.
