This piece has been hand knitted from an original 1940s wartime knitting pattern.
Charming stripes of mocha and parchment on a base of copper, it has been knitted in Stylecraft 4ply Life which is a 25% wool 75% acrylic and is a slightly fluffy yarn which is wonderfully soft to the touch. A pretty stitch design giving lovely texture to the knit, it fastens on the left shoulder with faceted plastic buttons and has a neat little bow at the neck.
