Description: 2 x knitting patterns/instructions for you to make pretty fair isle berets/hats and matching handbags. 1930s/40s WWII patterns, where fair isle was popular as it used up oddments of wool, which was scarce due to rationing.
Measurements:
Berets/hats are approx 10 1/2 - 11" in diameter. The bags are 8" - 9" in diameter. When made in 3ply yarn. You can use modern 4 ply yarn which is similar in weight to the 3 ply of the time, but please knit a tension square before starting to ensure the finished items are the size you want.

2 or 3 ounces (approx 57 - 85 grams) for the main colour. 1 ounce (approx 28 grams) each of three contrast colours for the set in the left hand photo. 1 ounce (approx 28 grams) in a dark shade and 1/2 ounce (approx 25 grams) in white for the set in the right hand photo.
Pair each No. 9 (3.75 mm), No. 10 (3.25 mm) , No. 11 (3.00 mm) & No. 13 (2.25 mm) knitting needles, to knit both sets. Medium sized crochet hook for finishing, stiffening, zips, 2 small rings, fabric to line the bags.
