This week's Vintage Pattern isn't strictly vintage, but you can certainly see its Sixties inspiration!
It's a fun pattern to play around with and its great for experimenting with different yarns. Here's what I made. Pretty crazy, but I love it! It uses samples of handspun yarns which I dyed using plants, so I pretty much made it from start to finish. I love how this fits with the idea of harmony with nature and the artistic experimentation of the hippie movement!

I even found this photo from the Isle of Wight Festival back in 1969 of someone wearing something very similar! How I wish I could travel back in time...
