Vintage Patterns: Summery linen suit and beret

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.

Sunlin-spun yarn was 50% linen with a light tweedy slub texture approximating a double knitting with 45 metres per 1 oz ball. The stitch used involves slipping stitches with yarn to the front of the work and is executed on 5mm needles making the tension appear more like an Aran.
