1980's pattern and crafting from BabyThingsHandmade.
Sleeveless pullover vest with red as the background color. Honeycomb pattern worked with gray, yellow, and navy in 55% orlon/45% wool bend chunky weight yarn. Back worked in the same geometric pattern. Lattice ribbing at waist. Collar and sleeve openings worked in garter stitch. Based on a Reynolds pattern from 1984. Occasionally worn then and in very good condition now.
One of a kind pullover measures:
Length shoulder to hem is 19"
3" deep ribbing at hem
Front and Back width at underarm is 19"
Total circumference at underarm is 38"
Sleeve width at underarm is 7", circumference is 14"
Weighs approx. 8 oz./300 g.
Although the label indicates this as a machine washable yarn, a better choice is to hand wash in warm sudsy water. Never wring. Cool rinse. Roll up in a towel to remove excess moisture. Dry flat and shape, preferably on a mesh drying rack. Store vertically to retain shape.
Also shown is a solid medium blue cowl neck pullover, a light blue square yoked pullover, and a pink surplice blouse also from the '80's.
