WWI (and WWII) German Knits

THIS PAGE IS IN PROGRESS! I have collected dozens of WWI German patterns and have knitted a few of them. I will be continuing to build on this to make more of these items for my customers. I have the patterns in the original German that I am translating from, for the most authentic reproductions possible. Also, a few WWII items featured as I make them.

Although the pattern recommends gray wool, I used black at the request of a customer. This is the No. 4 cap from the above pattern; the ‘Haube mit langem Rand’ or ‘Long-Brimmed Hood’

This is a modified version of the above German vest that I made for a customer.

I knitted this German vest from a photo a customer sent me.

I knitted this German sweater using a WW2 pattern and photos a customer had sent me.

I worked with a customer who’s an expert in this field, and with his guidance, I knitted this WWII German toque.
