Knitting Vintage for V.
I got a whole slew of knitting magazines from my grandma that ranged from 1944 to the mid-1980's. Some of them are interesting just to see the amazing fashion differences between then and now (like anything from 1975. Really. What were they thinking?), but my favorites are the baby patterns from when my dad and his siblings were little. I have about five of them, and this is one of them:
It's got a good variety of patterns, as you can see below (click to enlarge):
I particularly liked this Mock Cable Baby Cardigan. It calls for a worsted weight yarn, and comes with a matching bonnet and blanket, but I skipped those.
I used some burgundy Encore I had left over from the Nursing Sweater I made Sibling #5. I had left over buttons to match, too.
V. seemed to like it.

Hello Barbara-
Jeanette is just a commenter, like you. I am the one who has the pattern. I am fairly certain it is out of copyright, but I need to verify that first. Then I'll let you know if I can send you a copy. :)

Praxis, if there is any chance of getting that gorgeous pattern, I'd love to have it.
I would like to make it twice - one for my friend's great granddaughter and one for charity.
Thank you for sharing so much!
BTW, I would do one for charity first - because if I take too long a child can still wear it.
This booklet was published in 1970, which means it is still protected by copyright law, so I unfortunately cannot give out copies of this pattern. However, I did see several copies available on Amazon for a reasonable price. This is an excellent booklet and you wouldn't regret adding it to your bookshelves.
