While we play around with adding patterns to our new store, we decided to offer this

Vintage Knit Leaf or Counterpane Afghan blanket Pattern  instant download so you can get knitting straight away. 

This counterpane afghan has been a very popular design amongst our readers, but getting hold of out-of-print patterns is very difficult. We were able to get a copy of this vintage pattern.  This counterpane afghan is particularly popular for baby blankets.

  1. I desired to purchase the Vintage Knit Leaf or Counterpane Afghan blanket Pattern for just $1, but it seems that it can only be purchased using PayPal, which I do not use and have NO desire to use. I had filled in all the purchase info before it became obvios that I had to use ONLY PayPal….So sad…

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.
