The archives of the Australian Women's Weekly are a treasure trove full of interesting articles from 1933-1983. If you have a moment grab a cuppa and dive into the digital pages, from prize winning recipes for chocolate fruit crumble, to beautifully illustrated short stories you never know what you might find!
Today's Vintage Pattern of the Week is a great winter accessory from a 1941 issue - a Cable Knit Turban. There's no shaping, it's just one long strip which makes it a good pattern for practising cables.
Here's mine. Made from vintage 4 ply wool in a rather fabulous Land Army green. I only had one small ball so it's not quite as long as the pattern suggests, but it still ties up nicely. It has a really good feel to it and stays on securely without pins.

So here are the instructions for knitting the turban. There's also the pattern for the matching cardigan if you fancy having a go at that too!
Happy Knitting!
