Vintage 3 Suisses Knitting magazine Plaisirs du Tricot N°1 70s retro

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old magazine titled Plaisirs du Tricot 3 Suisses is a special "family knitting" issue published for the subscription service. The cover features a typical 70s or early 80s layout, with nine color photographs illustrating different knitted clothing models: sweaters, cardigans, jackets, and accessories for men, women, and children. The visible models evoke retro trends, with loose fits, geometric patterns, and pastel or sober colors, characteristic of this period.

The cover illustration highlights the diversity of the creations offered: a striped hooded sweater, a argyle cardigan, a twisted turtleneck sweater, and a crocheted doily in white thread are particularly distinguishable. In the bottom right, a pink ball of yarn accompanies the set, reinforcing the creative hobby aspect and the world of knitting. The presence of the printed price "10F" in the bottom right confirms the magazine's age and its distribution in France.

The title "Plaisirs du Tricot 3 Suisses" is written in large letters on a light background, with the mention "Subscription service N°1 special family knitting" in smaller font. The graphic design, simple and functional, focuses on visuals to inspire readers. The item has a slightly satin finish, typical of creative hobby magazines from the late 20th century.

The spine and back are not visible in the photo; only the front cover is presented. No major defects are visible on the cover, apart from slight traces of wear consistent with a second-hand item from this era. The colors remain well-preserved, and the images are clear.

This magazine is for all knitting enthusiasts looking for retro inspirations or authentic patterns from the 3 Suisses universe, a major French reference in textile creative hobbies for several decades.
