Astrakhan Fashion Hand Knits by Emu. This 24-page 1980s knitting pattern booklet contains a great selection of patterns that showcase textured yarns, though most of them would work equally as well with a non-bouclé wool. These sweaters and jackets have the relaxed silhouette that we all love from the eighties with some interesting design ideas thrown in. Good range of sizes too, with most of the styles covering from a 32" to a 40" bust measurement (some go down to 30" or up to 42").
This instant download pattern comes with a bonus PDF entitled Working with Vintage Knitting Patterns which includes helpful information on substituting modern yarns, needle size conversions, and how to make size adjustments.
