Hello and welcome! I sell vintage knit and crochet PDF patterns for digital download. I hope you find a pattern you love that inspires you to pick up your needles and get going!

As a knitter and crocheter, I understand the importance of detailed and helpful information in a listing. I try to add as much as possible to each description. The recommended yarns on vintage knit and crochet patterns will be discontinued now. Most are standard gauges, and you will be able to find a replacement. I suggest a yarn weight in my listing description, but I recommend researching yourself - Ravelry is a good starting point. All the patterns I sell are in English and will be knitted from the bottom up. Patterns are available on Etsy worldwide and have been around for decades, so some terms, such as yarns, needle sizes, and layouts, will differ, and you may have to do some detective work beforehand - half the fun ;-).

PDFs will be available to download once payment is received. I don't personally send the PDF; it's an automatic process from Etsy. You will find a link to download your purchase in an email from Etsy, or if you have an Etsy account, you will see a View Your Files link, which will take you to the download page—very occasionally, this ends up in Spam. One last thing: you need Adobe Reader installed on your computer to open and read the PDF file.

Thanks for stopping by.

Best, Linnet

I'm pretty much obsessed with knitting and crochet. I also work freelance in fashion knit and have collected patterns for years as research material. I like mixing things up with vintage pieces and have a very long list of things I'd like to make!
