This is Le Petit Echo de la Mode, aimed at the dressmaker and knitter,it is a fantastic look at fashion of the age. It has a knitting pattern for a lovely sweater (if you don't speak French you will need to translate!) There should be a free glove pattern on a couple of the pages but this is now missing. But, it has a great page with how to make patterns for 3 hats, I have shown a picture of this in the link below. Great reference material for the early 50's. Included in this section due to the nature of the content .
