The Australian Women’s Weekly – Afghans to knit and crochet pattern book dated 2 August 1972 was sent to me by Genevieve from New South Wales.

A quote from the booklet:
“The old craft of afghan rug making is enjoying a great revival.  And small wonder, as these hand-made rugs are warm, soft, useful, and so pleasant to make.  Here, in this book, are some fascinating new designs as well as the traditional patterns.  The afghan motif has found its way into fashion, too.  See the stylish vest and the top and hot-pants set.
