About the
Idle Hands




Please note:

Recent changes (a 70% increase) to the UK postage rates for printed papers sent outside the UK have meant that the price of a pattern for overseas buyers is now about 80% of the cost of the item. I can only apologise for this as I have simply transparently passed the increase on to the buyer. The only mitigation I can offer is to ensure a reduction of excess postage for multiple items shipped together.

I use   "Buy now"
buttons to allow you to pay instantly using a credit card or through Paypal - note that you do not need to have a Paypal account in order to do this.
However, I know this does not suit everyone, so if you want to pay using another method then please use the "Contact me" button above.

Description: Classic plain cardigan in one size only. This is a cardigan pattern - the picture in the top right refers to their interesting instructions as to how you might wear it: "This is a stocking stitch cardigan, which turned back to front, serves also as a jumper....".
On to of that the pattern has an interesting name "Dragobert" - look him up...
The pattern has a vertical crease (not shown) which affects the cover photo but not the instructions; there is a tear at the edge of the pattern.

Note that although the pattern quantities are in grams, the pattern is from the 1960s - that's because these were French imports - Pingouin taking the country by storm - the second wave after the Battle of Hastings.
