5 Vintage patterns this gal has to knit

As of late, I've been swooning over all things vintage knitting. But lets be honest, we know I love vintage things, and we know I love knitting. So, should anyone really be surprised? I've been favoriting so many vintage and vintage inspired patterns on Ravelry I don't think I'll ever have time to knit them all... But you can't blame me if I try, right?

Below are the top 5 vintage/vintage inspired patterns that I need to try as soon as possible.

Trolley Dodger I've been dreaming about having a letter sweater in my old high school colors for a long time. I'm not even sure why since I wasn't really known for my school spirit back then, or now for that matter. But the heart wants what the heart wants and I've been searching high and low for a pattern and I've finally found one. My dream of looking like a female, brown version of Wally Cleaver is one step closer to being realized.

Que Sera What a beautiful looking pattern. It found me just at the right time, too. When I first locked eyes on it I had just made up my mind that I should probably just rip apart my first sweater since it's way to big, and I don't really like it, and I'll probably never wear it. I think the purple yarn will be perfect for this project. Really the only thing that's stopping me from casting on is the intimidating stitch pattern that I don't feel like tackling at the moment.

Fair Isle Pullover What can I say? I love a good stranded vest. Honestly, I haven't given this pattern too much thought. The only thing I know is I'm going to knit it in the round with steeks instead of back and forth like the pattern says. And I'll obviously have to do some math to make it my size.

Cable Pullover No. 3298 When I first saw this sweater during Tasha's at By Gum By Golly knit along I knew I had to have one of my own. I'd probably knit this one in the round as well, like Tasha did. But I see mine in either a deep purple or a dark green.

Bernat Style 177-96 I saw a picture of Sandra Dee wearing a sweater similar to this one and immediately fell in love. I'm going to adapt the pattern so it's a pullover instead of a cardigan, so it'll more closely resemble Sandra's. And I plan to knit it with pink and white stripes. There's no link to this pattern since I found it in my Bernat Classics for Women pattern book.

I honestly don't think I'll get to knitting any of these anytime soon seeing as I have a few other more pressing projects to get done before I even think of casting on anything else. But when I do get them they're sure to make their first appearance on my Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr. So, follow me there if you want to see frequent project updates.
