Fabulous Colors For Fabulous Knits- 70's Fantasy Flowers

<B>We are getting ready for a snow storm which we don't really do here in Seattle, but it put me in mind of sweaters. Then I found these hippy chick knits for you to make.<br>(If anybody really wants instructions I'll try to accomodate you, but I'm not sure this sort of thing should be encouraged.)</B><p> <a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4-4.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4-4.jpg" width="400"></a><br>Knitted patchworks play a visual game on a color-sliced cardigan that rides atop a pair of matching pants. Garter stitch strips knit in varying colors are joined with strips of crochet. Pants, knit in the round, have a drawstring waist, crocheted trim at bottom. Coats & Clark's Red Heart Knitting Worsted.<p>Multipatterned vest is knit in one piece. Patterns are traditional Scandinavian designs-hearts, flowers, roosters, and little people. Coats & Clark's Knitting Worsted.<p> Yoked pullover, a mosaic delight, is worked in the round to underarms. The sleeves, worked separately, are then joined to complete the yoke. Coats & Clark's Knitting Worsted.<p> Stripes and patches pattern a wrap skirt that may be made in any length, any width. "Patched" strips are knit, then joined with bright crochet. Coats & Clark's Knitting Worsted. <p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4-3.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4-3.jpg" width="400"></a><p> At-home warmth is reflected in an elongated knit that will go anywhere. Same motif, worked in different colors, gives a multipattern effect. Drawstring waist lets you nip it in as much as you like. Of Bucilla Superwash Knitting Worsted.<p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4-2.jpg" width="400"></a><p>A long, long column of single crochet-the perfect field for the blossoming of super-sized flowers! Quick to work up, dress has a back zipper for a trim fit. Simple-stitch embroidery is done in the same yarn. Bernat Knitting Worsted.<p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedlework1973-4FW.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedlework1973-4FW.jpg" width="400"></a><p>Curl up under a shower of flowers! Giant blooms splash over a four-paneled afghan that is easy-and quick-to make. Each panel is worked in single crochet; then all are joined with a crocheted fagoting stitch. Of Bernat Knitting Worsted.<p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/AttentionPatterns/McCallsNeedleworkFW1973-4.jpg" width="400"></a><p> Two little maids in a row wear pinafores that are just as pretty coming or going! Flower sprays-each slightly different-continue around the back of each for a posied hemline. Work both the same in single crochet with a picot edging; then embroider the flowers she likes the best. Of ColumbiaMinerva Knitting Worsted. <br>
