1940's Crochet - Turban Scarf

Turban Scarf

The WorkBasket, 1949

This is simple and easy to make; one can be made in a couple of hours. The original was made of 2-ply yarn; one ounce is sufficient to make one. Use size 00 hook. String weight thread would make a very pretty one too; a size 4 or 5 hook is best for this weight of thread.

1940's Sewing - Polka Dot Turban

Australian Home Journal 1st April 1949

Today I have a real treat to share with you! 

The very lovely Denise, emailed me recently to share a link to an utterly amazing PDF she had found online! The PDF is a collection of Australian Home Journal issues ranging from 1949 to 1952, each issue contains multiple knitting & sewing patterns, plus recipes, adverts, stories and everything you would expect from a good vintage magazine! Its really wonderful and certainly worth a look even if your not much of a crafter.

I though to make it a little easier to find patterns if you are in a hurry or are looking for something in particular that I would do a separate post for each issue highlighting the Knitting and sewing patterns inclosed, with the relevant PDF page numbers.
So here is the first installment

1940's Knitting - Montreal Turban

Montreal Turban

"Miss June Cox, Montreal, likes this pullover and turban in chamois yellow. She shows you two other intersting ways to drape the turban. Pins and clips and flowers, feathers or quills, make smart turban trimming!"
