Weldon's Practical Knitter, Series 36

We have reproduced for you here the knitting material from the Thirty-Sixth Series (neither alterations nor corrections were made to the original published in 1898). The 17 patterns range from practical to ornate and include the adorable Dutch Bonnet in Dotty Pattern; the fanciful Parisian Bootikin; the charming Infant’s Plain jacket; and the “not illustrated” Novel Workbag.

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.
