This piece has been hand knitted from an original 1940s wartime knitting pattern. Charming stripes of Navy, Lavender and Blue, 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 faceted plastic buttons and has a neat little bow at the neck.
