A long sweater with Great Britain (minus Northern Ireland!) worked on the front in a contrasting colour.

From p.110: “the Outer Hebrides are not knitted in the photograph, but they do appear on the graph .. The Orkneys have disappeared into the neckline, I’m afraid, and Ireland… Well, whoever thought knitwear design could get into politics?”
