Weldon's Practical Knitter, Series 29

The Twenty-Ninth Series has 17 items to knit, including quilts, corners, and borders, all from Weldon’s practical needlework.

We have reproduced for you here the knitting material from the Twenty-Ninth Series (neither alterations nor corrections were made to the original published in 1895). The 17 patterns range from practical to ornate and include the Star Pattern Hexagon; the Square for Quilt, Worked with Four Needles; the Wide and Handsome Stripe; the Tufted Triangle; and the Hoop and Vandyke Edging. Use the patterns to create your own gorgeous heirloom quilt.

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.

All items in the library are intended for personal use. Please do not distribute without written approval.
