Alyssum Hug-me-tight


I'm guessing this is a 1950's pattern book.
It's pre-decimal currency.
It was published here in Australia by Coats Patons (Australia) Limited but no date.


Knitted in double moss stitch on 2.75mm needle in 3ply baby wool.


I made the lazy Daisy Flower as instructed.
And used a tie instead of the ribbon.
This took me a while to finish.
Knitting 20 inches of moss stitch with such small needles and fine wool I found tiresome.

Oh that's sweet Tracy. Pink flowers? Another girlie one. I hope that you have some swaps lined up just in case!

it is a gorgeous top but I detest knitting baby things. You have much more patience than I do Tracy.
