Description

Can’t take all the credit for this one; knitting isn’t really my thing so I gave my grandma a 1940s pattern and she made the pieces for me and I put them together and sewed it

    Awesome! Had no idea that the V&A had these knitting patterns on their site-am defiantly going to check it out and give it a go. Such a nice result!
