Historic knitting patterns appearing Vogue magazine from as early as 1927 through to 1985, reworked to modern yarns, and sizes. Great historical reference book, and excellent for those who love the retro look. ( )

This collection of Vogue knitting favorites is truly timeless. I've bookmarked several patterns from every decade of the past 80 years. My only hesitations are that 1) yarn gauge, weight, and volume are not clearly given, making modern substitutions difficult, and 2) the patterns look difficult to follow. But the designs are classic.

updated in the late 80's this isn't as painfully 80's as some pattern books.
