This piece has been hand knitted from an original 1940s wartime knitting pattern.
Worked in a mocha base with a pale rose stripe it has been knitted using Stylecraft 4 ply Life, which is a 25% wool 75% acrylic mix which is really soft to the touch and very slightly fluffy. It fastens on the left shoulder with three faceted plastic buttons and has a neat little bow at the neck.
