Retro Trend / Vintage Trend: Shop Now

Dear users, dear authors,
if you like retro and vintage, then this is your thread. Have fun with it.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

I’d also classify this timeless men’s vest as retro. With its rustic cable pattern, it’s suitable for young and old alike. The pattern is for size 48/50. The pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters.

The macramé-style basket can be used in almost any room, e.g., in the hallway for your keys, in the bathroom for guest towels, in the bedroom for odds and ends, or in the living room for your current crochet project. 

The basket also looks great as a small gift basket.

Difficulty level: intermediate

Uwagi is a top-down raglan cardigan with a cut reminiscent of the 1960s.
Thanks to the top-down raglan construction, you can decide for yourself how large the cardigan should be.

The pattern is suitable for beginners with basic knowledge.

Don't these potholders remind you of Grandma's old coffee set, too? They definitely bring the coziness of the good old days into your kitchen. The potholders are crocheted double-layered. This way, you can reach in from the top to grab things, just like with a glove.
You can purchase the patterns as a value set of potholders (coffee cup and milk can) or individually:
Coffee Cup Potholder
or
Milk Can Potholder

Personally, I also find my African Flowers models a little retro. They remind me of the flower power era of the 70s, when everything was colorful and cheerful. I'll simply show them to you. I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself. For more pictures, information, and the pattern, just click on the headings.

Warm regards from Ina

Cushion cover "African Flowers"

First we crochet lots of colorful hexagons. Then we crochet them together, add buttons, insert the cushion, and an individual, cheerful, colorful cushion in your favorite colors is done.





Heart cushion

Here, too, we crochet lots and lots of individual pieces, which we then assemble into a heart according to a specific construction plan. The cushion is filled with synthetic craft stuffing and can therefore later be washed completely in the washing machine.





Child's or baby blanket "AFrican Flowers"

Here as well, it means first diligently crocheting lots of whole and half hexagons. They are then joined together to make a blanket. Then add a pretty border around it, and a truly unique blanket is finished.

The crocheted borders decorating these recycled glass jars are wonderfully retro—and therefore totally on trend.

You can easily adjust the length of the crocheted border so that it fits a wide variety of jar sizes (jam jar, sauce jar, sausage jar, etc.).

Difficulty level: easy to intermediate for advanced crocheters, too difficult for beginners
