Please Note: This is a quality, restored and reformatted copy of the pattern for you to knit the item/s yourself. It is Not for the original pattern or the finished article/s. 

The pattern is printed in A4 format on heavy weight paper with colour photos and charts where applicable.  It will be posted in a plastic sleeve and board backed C4 envelope to protect it. 

Due to the age of the pattern, the original yarn suggested may not be available.  It is recommended to knit a tension square with your chosen yarn, before starting, to ensure the finished garment or item is the size you require. 

If you have any questions about the item please contact me. 

I am listing other original and reformatted (out of copyright or copyright free) Knitting and Crochet patterns plus wool and craft items for sale or auction.

If you are bidding on more than one item, please wait for the invoice with combined packing & postage before paying.   Additional patterns are only 10p extra on postage.

The pattern will be sent via royal mail 2nd class to keep costs down, and I get proof of postage.  Whilst I make every effort to ensure the patterns are protected well for transit, should there be any issues with the pattern, please contact me to allow me to resolve them before leaving feedback.

Please Notes: Due to some unscrupulous ebayers, I will not post to P.O. boxes, storage facilities or other non-standard addresses.  I take every effort to describe the pattern in detail as well as making it clear whether the item is an original or a copy.  I am reasonable and realistic however due to an increasing number of ‘scammers’, I no longer provide full refunds for issues related to not reading the description, or an item not arriving without investigation and evidence.  I will refund for genuine issues.

Postage and packaging costs quoted are for mainland UK via myHermes or Royal Mail. Certain areas of Scotland and Ireland may unfortunately incur additional postage charges.  I am happy to search for the cheapest postage cost for delivery to non-standard service areas, please ask before bidding.
