A How-To

A very cool thing about 50's magazines is they assumed women knew how to knit--I mean knit, like, whole sweaters out of fingering weight yarn on size 2 needles knitting. So they often have patterns and in fact when they have patterns they tend to have half a dozen or so.

I'm putting this one up because it looks kind of cool and trendy and in line with what the young people like these days (those who knit, anyway). It's a remarkably simple pattern which, in the interest of accuracy, I'm not going to try to re-type here, but if you are interested in it, just click on the image of the instructions and you will get a larger version that should be readable.

I'm not starting this at the moment because I swore not to start anything new until I finish my daughter's latest cardigan; it has already been rendered superfluous by spring temperatures but I want to complete it before she outgrows it. Maybe in September, the cap?
