Share vintage pictures of WILD vintage knitwear here. Fair Isle, Zig Zag, Argyle, Stripes...all is good as long if it's patterned and pre 50s.

sadly this deadstock one is too small, and moth-damaged. not sure of date. looks jazzy 20s in design but i think it's actually 40s.

any info on those last two you posted Flo ?
The first one is tagged as 1920s and the second early 30s. Both are from the Victoria and Albert museum.

Your sweaters are spectacular. Oh I can already sense this was a good idea for a thread.
