Crochet et tricot 1928 pt. 2

A continuation of my last post. Some men's patterns in this one, including suspenders and a tie. Super fun stuff! I haven't tested any of these patterns, but since most of them are basically rectangles, they should be easy enough to figure out, even if you can't read French.

Crochet et Tricot 1928

From Gallica, again. Don't forget you can download a .PDF of the entire issue. Lots of fun stuff in this post and the next one, including a girdle, a dress, and "combinations".

Socks, double-breasted vests, and lingerie under the jump!

some vintage knitting patterns in french

I am very anti-authority when it comes to knitting. I personally prefer spending money on yarn over books and patterns. If I like a pattern that's not free, I can probably find a free equivalent on Drops, Trove, or elsewhere. I've been knitting for six years (gosh, that seems like a long time!) and I've done enough knitting to look at a photo and figure it out. (Now, finishing the project? That's another issue...) Which is why I love the Lutterloh approach:

All you need is a pattern (or the measurements of one) and the gauge and you're set!

So when I found these knitting patterns on Ebay, I knew we were made for each other. Maybe. I guess I have to make them first. Click to make 'em bigger.
