Found some fabulous vintage crochet and knitting books on Sunday at a huge textile auction held in an artist's loft.   Three cases of them so I may be listing these for quite a while.

Beautiful 1942 soft cover booklet  with 23 pages and lots of classic teen fashions made with Chadwick's Red Heart wools. Book no 1987. Published by the Stool Cotton Company (might have been Coats Clarks company, early version). This is the second edition.

The decorative designs are charted patterns that are clear and look easy to follow.

Includes:

tam
bell hop hat
hi mark hat
pom hat
home team pullover and cardigan
boys ribbed pullover
Katrinka (skirt w/ suspenders)
boys gils cables vests
Coke party (don't say anything, this is 1942) what US calls a jumper, a skirt with attached sleeveless top
snow birds cardi and pullover
school bells (girl's heavier jacket cardi with ribs)
chunky (jacket w/ heavy cables for girls)
rugged aire (boys fine ribbed cardi)
girl's striped sweater
tandem classics (stripes for boys & girls)
short story (fine knitted girl's cardi, ribbed w/ short sleeves)

The hats in here are wonderful. Look like something out of an Andy Hardy movie!!

All appear to use Red Heart DK sweater weight yarn, wool, using US sizes 3 and 6 needles. So these are finely knit sweaters with a few really chunky knits too.

Condition:  very good for its age.  Light scuffing and smudging on covers and wear and folds along spine. Corners have a bit of curl/wear.  No marking inside. Pages are flat and still crisp.

Beautiful soft cover book that is a great reference.   I got a bargain on these books (bought three big cases of vintage crochet and knitting books) so am passing the savings on to you. Lots more to come!
