It’s LOVE…also popular with another member of my family (for obvious reasons). Really glad I stopped at short sleeves, I think I’ll get heaps of wear out of it in our climate!

I added an extra button so that I can wear it with a normal bra if I need to. Gorgeous pattern, I will definitely knit it again. I think the keyhole would look cute in the middle…..or even the back! Oh for more time and money!

I fretted a little about the contrast colour. The Historian did NOT help by saying,“ I really like the colours, they are a really classic combination….I think they’re West Ham United’s colours.” - You see, it’s not that I have any feelings either which way for the club, it was that my secret fear was that the stripes would look like a football jersey!!!!
