From The New Vintage Knitting Collection: Patterns Inspired by Nostalgic Designs
Knit this v-neck sweater from the bottom up with a panel of cable stitches for a look that’s a blast from the past. The saddle shoulders above half-length stockinette sleeves are reminiscent of oversized and comfy vintage sweaters. Body and sleeves are joined to a raglan construction so that only few stitches below the arms have to be seamed. This bright and fun sweater works well with a skirt or your favorite pair of jeans.

From my student days trudging through the snow to the lecture halls to giving the dogs a run in nearby snow-covered fields, these leg warmers add an extra layer of warmth and a splash of individuality. These knee-high legwarmers are inspired by the textures of frost-encrusted stems and branches, and the fissures, knarls and knots of bark which become the dominant features of trees in winter.
