Weldon's Practical Knitter, Series 37

The Thirty-Seventh Series includes 14 useful garments to knit for ladies, gentlemen, and children, all from Weldon's Practical Needlework.

We have reproduced for you here the knitting material from the Thirty-Seventh Series (neither alterations nor corrections were made to the original published in 1898). The 14 patterns range from practical to ornate and include the adorable Pilch for a Child; the handsome Gentelman’s Undervest; the fetching Vest or Jersey for Fishermen, Cabmen, Omnibus Drivers, and others; and the chic Long-Sleeved Under-Bodice.

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
