An excerpt:
"This
light little Pelerine merely covers the shoulders, consequently would be found
particularly comfortable and convenient in the house."
This item was made using:
"white... [and] colored Berlin wool; a long wood or bone
tricot hook...and a bone crochet hook ..."
Of course, you can use any yarn color or combination of colors
your heart desires! You could even easily add beads cuff or other areas, in
simple to ornate designs, for a truly one-of-a-kind living history adornment!
A
experienced needle artist could readily resize the project if needed
by adding or subtracting a stitch or three... :)
The ladies of earlier times put their hands to such
marvelous work and now you can too! These are beautiful items and sure to
delight you and yours! These instructions are very clear and easy to follow and
yet the experience needle worker will be capable of altering as per individual
needs and artistic whim.
The
antique and vintage yarns, beads, needles, etc., can be found on eBay
quite readily. You just have to hunt a little bit! :) Or, of course, you can
utilize contemporary tools and materials found at a nearby fabric, craft or
hobby store…
