This American Thread Company booklet gathers patterns for stoles worked in knitting, crochet, and hairpin lace. With clear instructions, yarn requirements, and gauge, it guides the home needleworker through making elegant wraps in a variety of techniques.
Such company booklets promoted the firm’s threads while serving fashionable handcrafters with up-to-date designs. The patterns preserve the look and methods of mid-century needlework. A useful vintage pattern collection for stoles, it is offered here as a free EPUB download. For collectors of vintage patterns and historians of handcraft, it preserves a small but appealing slice of mid-century fashion in wraps and stoles worked by hand at home.
