Vintage 1970s crochet and knitting pattern book Big Sizes Book No. 191 by Patons. This 36-page book contains a great bunch of patterns for both men and women - everything from cabled cardigans to lacy twinsets and crocheted vests. And, unlike many vintage needlework patterns, the range of sizes is much more in line with modern bodies. Patterns for all of the styles that you see here are given in chest sizes 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, and 52 inches.
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.
