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.

Description: Another delightful early example of Roger Moore's modelling career - and the design is also a delight being based on the Flamborough Fisherman's Jersey. However, sadly, the instructions are given for only one moderate man's size. An experienced knitter could possibly increase the size by using a 5ply or DK yarn but, having calculated the chest size, you'd have to check the proportions as you knit the armholes. Because it's a sleeveless sweater, alterations on the fly may not pose so great a risk.
The pattern is in a delicate condition with some tears and marks from a previous user. The instructions are in tact but I will also supply a clean copy of them along with the original pattern.
