I recreated a Victorian cycling jumper, staying as close as possible to the original instructions while making necessary adjustments for a proper fit. These small alterations likely reflect what knitters would have done in the past as well.
Materials Used:
- 1 mm set of 5 double-pointed knitting needles
- 2 mm circular knitting needles
- 560 g Merino 4-ply yarn (Yardage: 400m/100g)
