1940s knitting pattern booklet Hand Knit Socks by Beehive N0. 37. This 32-page booklet contains patterns for a large variety of men’s socks in different styles and yarn weights. There’s everything here from warm ribbed outdoor socks to dressier fine gauge models in cable and argyle patterns. These are classic designs that could be made to look very modern depending on your choice of colors. And it also has a section on how to knit a replaceable heel which is very much in line with the “make do and mend” wartime philosophy. This is a great resource for fans of WW2 vintage styles as well as anyone who just loves knitting socks!
This instant download pattern also 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.
