This summer hand-knitted bathing suits will play a big part in the color scheme of things on the beaches, and already needles and wools are being chosen to get the new suits ready when the season opens. Perhaps the most popular of all will be the child’s knitted sun suit, with its upper portion composed simply of straps letting in all the sun on the young body.

Materials required are:—Seven skeins of crocus wool. No. 8
needles.
