Home Needlework Magazine 1914 Knitted Bag Pattern

Home Needlework Magazine

This pattern is for all our knitters out there. It’s from an April 1914 copy of the Home Needlework Magazine. Which was a woman’s magazine published monthly, devoted to embroidery, lace making, and fancy needlework in all its forms. A one years subscription could be had for 75 cents.

Knitted Bag

Since it was published in April, I can only assume they were thinking what I’m thinking, what a great little bag to make for Mother’s Day.

Here it is:

Vintage Crafts and More - Antique Knitted Bag Pattern

Just what you’d expect an early twentieth century ladies bag to look like.

The pattern calls for using crochet cotton in white or any color you’d like.  For this pattern you’ll also need 3 knitting needles or a large pin to use to be able to bind off like the heel of a stocking.

Once the knitting is finished, you’ll sew up the side of the bag. Then there’s a row of holes at the top to run a cord or ribbon through.

      I wasn’t able to find any huck toweling alphabets in my vintage booklets. I did do an internet search on that wording and not too much came up. I did find a booklet for sale for $6 called, Swedish Weaving – Alphabet. Also, on the search there were a couple images for the alphabet that came up on the Pinterest site.

      Hope that helps.
