Dresses Sweaters His Hers Knitting Crochet Patterns American Thread Star 213

I am (very) slowly working through my box of vintage crochet and knitting books.      The original goal was 1 book a day ... we'll see.    It's a slow process in that each book has to be researched to ensure it is in the public domain and not under copyright, even though there is no copyright shown.   Then, scan each page to a pdf file and then scan each of the picture (to show you), get the pictures processed  ... etc, etc. etc.   

So, here my next completed booklet - 

Star Book No 213, American Thread 

Dresses Sweaters, his and hers

Cover picture, featuring two patterns in the booklet

Raz Matazz (didn't you always wonder how to spell that !).  This is a crocheted dress with a square neckline, elbow length flared sleeves and above knee length.   It is sized S-M-L.

The official title -- The Lady is a Vamp !  (Definition:  a seductive woman who uses her sex appeal to exploit men).  This is a crocheted Picot Sweater sized S-M-L.   Remember this hairstyle !

It's a Daisy - Crocheted Pullover Sweater with long sleeves and below hip length.  This is sized S-M-L. 

  This pattern is available separately.

Chevron Knitted Tunic with rolled neckline, extended shoulders and scalloped mini-length.  It is sized S-M-L.   Believe this style would have been referred to as a go-go.   Not that far from todays fashion; substitute the tights for leggins and a slightly different style of boot.   

 This Pattern is Available Separately

More Raz Matazz - this one knitted.   The striped dress has short sleeves, a front and back yoke and mid thigh length.  

This pattern is available separately. 

The Lacy Eton is Knitted and is sized 32, 34 and 36.   Did you know the Eton was named for the style of jackets worn by the young women at Eton College, Windsor?   

His and her Diamond Patterned Pullover and Cardigan is shown on her.  The man here, and on the cover photo, is modeling the Mens Raglan.   These are the only two patterns for men in this booklet.   These patterns are knitted.  Mens are sized at 38 - 44 and misses at 12 - 20. 

This is the mens view of the diamond cardigan. 

She Shell Cardigan - This cardigan features that wonderful cowl neckline, three quarter sleeves and the delicate shell pattern.   This is a crochet pattern sized S-M-L.
This pattern is available separately.

And extra picture of the She-Shell Cardigan with a optional position for the collar !

The back cover closes with the Crocheted Raz Matazz in color !

I hope you enjoyed the fashion show in this delightful American Thread, Star 213.  The booklet and, where indicated, separate patterns are available in PDF format in my shop.    Just click on the links.   

I'd love to hear your thoughts ... just leave a comment !   (I spend a considerable amount of time talking to myself here, it seems).

Thanks for dropping by,
