In the spirit of women like my mom and grandmother, who shared knitting patterns freely amongst their friends, and who made knitting a truly social hobby, I’ll be featuring one vintage knitting pattern a week, for free download, on this blog.  I’ve inherited a number of vintage knitting books from my family and the patterns are just too classic, and inspiring, to keep to myself.  Whether you knit them as-is, or use the patterns as inspiration for your own designs,  I hope you see something you like. Be sure to check back regularly as a new pattern will be featured each week. This week’s pattern is The Ribbed Shrug.I love the beadwork on the bottom edges of the body and sleeves of this dressy shrug, circa 1950′s. The free pattern download is here.   The Ribbed Shrug
