Weldon's Practical Knitter, Series 26

This eBook is an exact reproduction from Weldon’s Practical Knitter. The Twenty-Sixth Series includes how to knit gloves, nightcap, golf cap, stockings, dolls’ clothing, vests, bodices, and more.

We have reproduced for you here the knitting material from the Twenty-Sixth Series. The 18 designs range from practical to ornate and include instructions for a swell Tam o’ Shanter, gorgeous “fancy” knit gloves for a three-year-old, a beautiful border in raised knitting, and the Baby Doll “. . . dressed as an infant in a long robe, a bonnet, and long cloak, and proper under-garments, all beautifully made in knitting.”

Instructions might perplex a contemporary knitter accustomed to detailed charts and succinct directions, but the patterns are often ingenious, and many of the objects transcend the century-plus span of years since they were devised.

This electronic book serves as a curiosity, an inspiration, a resource, and a link to a time beyond our memories. In using and enjoying it, you keep the craft alive.
