BACK IN TIME
Sirdar has opened up its library of vintage crochet and knitting patterns – and with nine decades of yarny designs under their belt, they have a lot to share. Find an era that speaks to you and explore the archives on www.sirdar.com – then try your hand at a vintage pattern for just £2. The site even separates the patterns into decades, starting with the 1930s and ending with the 1990s.
