This pattern comes from Weldon’s Practical Knitter, Number 130, Thirty-Second Series (1896). It is also published in Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 11, Interweave Press, 2004.

The original pattern calls for “bright-coloured” and “dark-coloured single Berlin wool” and “Four steel knitting needles, No. 14 “ (modern equivalent 2mm/US 0.)

“This cover is intended to contain a bottle of medicine when it is packed for traveling…thick and soft enough to preserve the glass from breaking…”

As with most 19th century patterns, there is no gauge/tension stated in the pattern. There are also no stated finished dimensions. The pattern is written entirely in text and there are no charts. There is, however, an illustration.
