Home Camisole Knitting Pattern

by

All summer long I have been wanting to knit a simple camisole. I have this bamboo yarn that’s been in my stash for ages that I think would be perfect for it, and a design like the Home Camisole from Caidree would be a nice option.

This simple V-neck camisole uses Stockinette Stitch throughout and is worked from the top down so you can easily customize the length. The original was made with cashmere, which would of course be wonderful, but you can make it with any light DK weight yarn you like.

The pattern comes in 10 sizes (I think the largest is around a 61 inch bust but there’s a typo on the pattern page) and is meant to be worn with 0 to 2 inches of positive ease.

You can get the pattern in English on the Caidree website, or head to Ravelry to get it in Spanish, French or German.

Vintage Knitted Coat Pattern PDF – Pembroke Coat

Oh, this one has proper old-Hollywood winter charm.

The Pembroke Coat is a vintage knitted coat pattern that instantly made me think of crisp winter walks, leather gloves, polished boots, and the sort of coat your grandmother would have casually worn while looking impossibly elegant. It has that beautiful longline shape, a classic collar, button front, sleeve tabs, pockets, and a smart plaid-style design that gives it such a tailored finish.

This is not a quick “knit it while watching one movie” sort of project — and honestly, that is part of the appeal. The Pembroke Coat is one for knitters who love a satisfying vintage knitting pattern with a proper garment construction feel. The updated PDF includes the original vintage reference image along with a modern mockup, which makes it much easier to picture how this coat could look in today’s wardrobe.

I especially love that this pattern still feels wearable. Made in grey, camel, forest green, burgundy, or navy, it would be a gorgeous handmade winter coat with that timeless “where did you get that?” look.

As with most vintage patterns, I’d recommend reading through the instructions first, checking your gauge carefully, and being prepared to make small adjustments for fit and modern yarn substitutions. But for confident knitters who enjoy heirloom-style projects, this is a really lovely one to add to the queue.
