This is the Woman’s Day 1949 Knitting Annual, a substantial vintage knitting magazine published by Woman’s Day, Inc. in 1949. It contains 72 original knitting patterns for the whole family, including sweaters, dresses, caps, mittens, socks, children’s wear, and household items.

The 66-page annual features designs for mothers & daughters, fathers & sons, infants & small children, and household pieces. Highlights include a beautiful Heirloom Bedspread (pattern 68), a ribbon-and-bouclé combination blouse, nylon yarn garments, Fair Isle-style sweaters, and many classic 1940s–early 1950s styles.

It also includes detailed General Directions, knitting abbreviations, standard body measurements, blocking instructions, and finishing techniques. The cover shows colorful examples of the projects inside.

This is a wonderful, comprehensive vintage knitting resource with something for every knitter.
