Retro Folk Collection Nostalgic 70s and 80s Inspired Knitting Patterns

Step back into the colourful world of the 1970s and 1980s with the Retro Folk collection of knitting patterns. Inspired by roller discos, punk Union Jacks, classic cars, and the pop culture icons of the era — from Paul Daniels’ magic shows to ice cream parlours, E.T. and Grease-style funfairs — these tea cosies and covers bring playful vintage charm to your home. Perfect for knitters who love retro style, each pattern combines nostalgic storytelling with creative design.
