KNITTING: This is a fab 60s sweater to KNIT but it looks like broomstick crochet! ( see detail image ) This sweater epitomizes mid sixties style; sexy but elegant! ( Also, it is quite nice and cosy but without bulk! Clever girls ! )
Close fitted, with square set in sleeves and a high roll collar; allow for ease when choosing your size as we are used to less nowadays.
Crochet was becoming popular in the late sixties but many proficient knitters did not crochet. This kind of pattern was aimed at giving them a way to get the ”look” in fashion with the skills they already had!
