Description: I'm including this as yet again it is a spendid pattern of its time.
The pattern itself is for a jacket and skirt in double knitting yarn in a textured pattern which forms a combination of alternating bobbles but perhaps more like a moss or seed stitch where every alternate row is purl. If that weren't enough, there is also a 4 ply long-sleeved sweater with a tie belt to wear with the costume (as shown in the photo).
However it is in very poor condition with creases and tears; I have cleaned up the photo illustration. The instructions are clear enough and should you want this pattern I will ensure you have clear instructions supplied.
