Historic knitting pattern: baby booties

Many historic knitting patterns are not for the faint of heart. The directions can be vague and filled with errors. It is always nice if a previous knitter has "translated" the pattern so we can proceed with the actual knitting.

Here is a blog post from Heather on her blog-Doodles. She has posted the directions to knit a pair of baby booties.

Thanks Heather!

In June 1949, another article was published in Australia's Woman's Weekly as a follow up to the matinee jacket pattern for Prince Phillip in 1948. This article provided a matching bonnet and booties to the matinee jacket.

You can find a PDF of the page from the magazine here.

Happy knitting, Debby
