January 8, 2013 by AllFreeKnitting

Season four of the popular PBS television series Downton Abbey aired last Sunday, and I’ve been seeing vintage ever since!  I’m not sure what it is or why, but I’m the first to admit that I’m a complete anglophile.  Combine my love of all things British with my appreciation of all things retro, and you’ll quickly figure out that my adoration for this show was meant to be.

Whether you’re new to the show or a die-hard fan, we’ve compiled some of our favorite Downton Abbey inspired knitting patterns to tide you over until next Sunday.  So sit back, sip on a piping hot cup of tea, and let yourself indulge in these knitting patterns that are truly blasts from the past.
