EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1940s, an era of innovation and resourcefulness, as depicted in this page from the Illustrated London News. Amidst the backdrop of World War Two and the introduction of rationing, women turned to knitting as a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new clothes. This page showcases two stylish models proudly wearing their hand-knitted cardigans, a popular choice for both everyday wear and undergarments. The ribbed yoke and cuffs add texture and warmth to these cardigans, while the simple yet elegant designs were easy to replicate using readily available wool. With knitting patterns in high demand, instructions for creating these garments were widely circulated, allowing women to make their own clothing at home. The short hairstyles and feminine silhouettes of the models reflect the fashion trends of the time. The use of wool, a staple material during the war years due to its availability and versatility, made these cardigans a practical and stylish choice for women. As rationing limited the production and availability of new clothes, knitting became a cherished pastime and an essential skill for many. This page serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resilience of women during the 1940s, who turned to their needles and yarn to create beautiful, functional garments that not only kept them warm but also expressed their personal style.
