VOGUE'S 27th KNITTING BOOK
Published by Conde Nast Publications (London, UK)
Undated but believed to be early to mid-1940s. There are references to wool rationing and the fact that much of the country's wool supply 'is still wanted for the Forces'
Small format softback booklet - 52 pages - contains several colour photographs as well as black and white
Dimensions: approx. 6" x 8.5" (approx. 15 cms x 21.5cms)
Please note: this is a much * smaller * format than the booklets produced later in the 1940s, possibly due to wartime paper rationing
This edition contains the usual stunning range of Vogue fashion knitwear. It's diffiult to decide which to feature here! Chic garments for women - sweaters/jumpers, cardigans, jackets and skirts, hats and gloves. Also includes a few patterns for men
The sizes vary for each garment. If you would like further information on the contents (sizes etc) please feel free to contact me
