You are buying an A4 modern print of the original pattern, not the finished item.
This delightful pattern is for a moss stitch suit comprising of skirt and jacket. A lovely simple design, easy to do, and can be accessorised to your hearts content! The jacket comes in 5 sizes to fit a 32 bust straight through to a 40 inch bust (see below), whilst the skirt is elasticated. The suit was originally knitted in Emu's Spectro wool on No.3 and No.5 needles, but is sadly like many vintage wools is now discontinued. This wool was similar to a 12-ply chunky so give it a go, but knit a tension square first to see if a change of needles is needed. Two wonderful pieces to add to your wardrobe!
