Prisoner of War Magazines

[maering]

A bit off topic & if there is a better place to ask this please let me know.

I want to knit the patterns in the Red Cross Prisoner of War magazines & wondered if anyone had any of these in their collections and could photo just the knitting pattern part please ?

My uncle was a POW and it seems an interesting piece of WW2 history often forgotten

I currently have patterns from
1942 June & Nov
1943 April
1944 September
1945 Jan

Thanks in hope

Mel

Not POW magazine but Victoria and Albert Museum has a selection of 1940's knitting patterns that can be downloaded.

Thanks Mike, yes I've seen them. Not free but another great 40s pattern place is fab40s.co.uk

Possibly some of the patterns from a pattern book "Knitting for the RAF" may have been reused. I have a PDF but cannot attach die to size. Message me if you want me to email it to you.

And reduced to a tanner, too. Bargain!
