Vintage Knits: Quick Gifts from 1958
I thought you might like some quick-to-knit gift ideas. Here are four patterns from College Knits, puublished by Bear Brand and Fleisher in 1958. I knitted up this lozenge-shaped hat as a gift for my sister, and put little pompoms on the ends of the laces. She loved it, and looks absolutely adorable when she wears it.
And here are a couple of other hat ideas, and a basic scarf.
Here are the patterns:

Thanks loads. Did you know,that in wisconson we called the style of this angor hat…and maybe even the other one jibers.
Interesting word, Tallulah. Do you know its origins?
I did a little research on the word origin, and my best guess is perhaps it’s vaguely related to a ship’s triangular sail (the jib) as the jibber is almost (but not quite) a knit head scarf. But that’s a rather poor guess. The pattern on your site is one of the better ones as i believe it has the “darts” which make it conform to the shape of your head.
Yes, I knitted it up for my sister, and it had a lovely fit.
Hi, the pattern for style no. 823 seems to be missing the first few rows on another page. Is it possible to upload that part? I would love to knit up this hat! Thank you for sharing :-)
Never mind! Just saw it’s in there, I just didn’t read it properly haha. Thanks again
