Knitting and Crocheting Books​

Do you remember flipping through these old knitting and crocheting books, choosing the perfect pattern for your next project? From jumpers and scarves to blankets and baby clothes, these well-thumbed pages inspired generations of makers. Often passed down or shared among friends, they were more than just instructions — they were a source of creativity and care. Did you or someone in your family use books like these?

My Mum was a great knitter and she had many patterns and lots of favourite ones. When I was a child it was cheaper to knit a jumper than go and buy one ready made.

I’ve still got the Patons baby books from seventy years ago .
