Vintage Knitting Pattern

Leaf cardigan

This is from a 1965 pattern book published by the Bernhard Ulmann Co. I knitted this sweater for myself, and was very pleased with the results. The leaf pattern is surprisingly easy to memorize, and I like the fit of the sweater. Reworkings of older patterns rarely duplicate the vintage tailoring.

  9. Oh, no, LiLew! What a bummer. I got all my books one or two at a time at thrift stores and garage sales, but I’m sure you can find replacements for some of them online. There’s some McCall’s on amazon.
