A Collection of Absolutely Crazy But Beautiful 1980s Sweaters

Wit Knits – The deliciously 80s sweater collection modeled by nit wits!

When rummaging around a second hand book shop George Hostler found the Holy Grail of knitting patterns – Wit Knits from 1986.

This book of patterns features a whole collection of crazy but beautifully retro knitting ideas all modeled by a selection of mid 80s UK C-list celebrities and a bunch of kids!

See the wonder of Christopher Biggins wearing a banana design, Mad Lizzie gives us a glimpse of her pussy sweater and who could forget Matthew Kelly’s weather pattern cardigan complete with rainbow arms and lightning bolts!
