This piece has been entirely hand knitted from a wartime 1940s knitting pattern.
A beautiful design featuring chevron stripes on the sleeves and yokes, it fastens with 10 little crochet buttons worked in the contrast wool. It would look fabulous with high waisted trousers.
Worked in Cascade 220 Fingering, which is a really fine pure wool, in Burgundy and Tempest it is an authentic reproduction of a wartime knit.
Please note that the knit has been heavily pinned to the mannequin.
