This piece has been hand knitted, not by me, from an original 1940s knitting pattern. Knitted in Stylecraft DK acrylic, it is a thick wool which creates quite a chunky finish.
It has been worked in pretty stripes of blue, green, yellow and natural and has broad shoulders, a classic design feature of the era, and a close fitting shape.
