Patons Fashion Knits 77, Vintage 1970s Knitting & Crochet Pattern Book, 35+ Patterns, Digital PDF

A proper 1970s knitwear treasure trove.

Fashion Knits 77 by Patons is a wonderfully retro collection of more than 35 original knitting and crochet designs, packed with chunky textures, Fair Isle, dramatic ponchos, cosy jackets, sweater sets and some very fabulous seventies styling. 

Inside you’ll find patterns for women and men, including sweaters, cardigans, coats, tunics, hats, tabards, dresses and accessories. There are even standout pieces such as the dramatic crochet poncho, a crochet wedding dress, patterned his and hers sweaters, and plenty of wonderfully wearable country inspired knits.

Perfect for vintage knitters, crocheters, costume makers, fashion students, collectors, or anyone currently developing a dangerous attachment to 1970s knitwear.

You’ll receive:

• One 63 page digital PDF

• More than 35 vintage designs

• Knitting and crochet patterns

• Original photographs, charts and pattern instructions

• Instant digital access after purchase

Please note, this is a digital download only. No physical magazine or pattern book will be posted.

As with most genuine vintage patterns, yarns and needle terminology reflect the period, so you may need to substitute modern equivalents. But really, that is half the fun.

Ms Delightful’s verdict: particularly good if your wardrobe could use more capes, tabards and unapologetically chunky knitwear.
