Each pattern has size/shape diagrams, and stitch patterns are charted. The garments are interesting and very wearable – and you don’t have to use handspun yarn! Sale price £12.50, formerly £16.50

This is very effective, very informative, and very beautiful. What a delight for all tatters and historians.
