But due to the pattern still being available during the early years of the war and wool restriction being in force there is a stamp on the front informing knitter that the instructions for the blanket have been removed from this edition.  Another nice easy pattern, using very little wool. Vintage 3ply suggested so try modern 4ply as this is the weight the needles suggest. The wrap over vest is to fit 16 inch chest, the other vest is to fit 14 inches both with stretch to 17-18 inches and bootees are 4 inch sole. Under 200g needed for whole set.
