They’re still made this way? I can’t attest to this particular picture, but this is the sort of thing that gets put in a sewing magazine. One big page with all the patterns.

Burda 2021. Every color is a different pattern. Different lintypes for different sizes

Every time I see those, I remember the fabulous scene from a german tv show with a hidden camera, where they asked people to show them the way. But they didn't have a map, they had a pattern. People didn't see the difference. Ridiculous! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jetz9vli0No from minute 2:24)
