More traditionally this might have been made in less bright yet more contrasting colours such as (undyed sheep) shades of dark brown and cream.

4 ply Price:
£2.00 (includes
2nd class postage within UK | |
Description: This is a lovely French design illustrated in bright colours - all of which was such a departure from conventional baby wear for us British in the 1980s. It's very simple but effective - the stitch is a mock Fisherman's rib where the "knit 1 below" rib is alternated with a plain knit row (so half the effort!). Note the tension of 50 rows to 10cm which is the effect of the Fisherman's rib "shrinking" the length compared with a stocking stitch 4 ply. |

Description: This is a set designed to be knitted on machines, but could fairly easily be used for hand knitting if you have an idea of the machine knitting vocabulary (for example "push xxx needles" means "cast on xxx stitches"). It is a 4 ply yarn so not impossibly fine for hand knitting. |

Sirdar 5976 Wool weight:
Double knitting Price:
£3.00 (includes
2nd class postage within UK | |
Description:
Short sleeved ribbed sweater with an embroidered plain yoke section. The 1980s saw what I believe to be the first manifestation of an interest in retro styles; this was styles of the 1940s* - with narrow skirts and square shoulders (somewhat ahead of the huge padded shoulders that became the 1980s trademark). This pattern is one of Sirdar's "Nostalgia" series. Note that this particular style with small panels of fair-isle were popular in the forties because you could easily cheer up a sweater in utility colours with small amounts of more colourful wool. This could be either reclaimed wool - or "mending cards" of yarn which were not rationed at all - commercial yarn companies responded by producing "mending cards" in all kinds of wild colours which fitted perfectly with the multicoloured designs. The original forties sweaters would have been in 3 or 4 ply fingering yarns rather than double knitting. |

Description: Sweater with a vertical "bouquet" eyelet pattern panels. The lace is sewn on afterwards; it was a popular trend in the early 1980s to embellish knitwear with lace, or ribbons threaded through eyelet holes. The pattern calls for about 8 metres of lace if you want to do this. |
