Description

Last updated on January 18th, 2023 at 05:36 am

This 48-page revised edition booklet contains 22 or so assorted sweater and cardigan patterns designed for men.  The patterns mostly use vintage Bear Brand or Fleisher “supra mohair, Win-Spin, Gigantic, Four Seasons, Win-Sport, Wool and Shetland Wool, and Winsom” yarns.  Modern sport, DK, worsted weight and bulky yarns should work with minimal hassle.  Overall, these patterns read in such a way you should have no problems understanding them in a modern context.  I would rate the patterns as easy to moderate in difficulty.

This digital scan is a complete reproduction of the entire booklet.  Each page has been lightly cleaned up, but it has not been retyped or updated to current terminology and/or techniques.

THIS IS A SCANNED BOOK OF PATTERNS.

This book has NOT been retyped.  Should it be retyped by me in the future, you will automatically receive the updated version.  Should you have any issues with reading the text of the patterns, please let me know and I will adjust the scan as needed for you.

This listing is for the PDF file download only, NOT a finished product.
