{"product_id":"vera-hat-and-mittens-knitting-pattern-by-bronagh-miskelly","title":"Vera hat and mittens","description":"\u003cp\u003eI’ve been doing some family history research recently especially around WW1 and come across old pictures of some of my 10 great aunts and grandmothers in a fabulous array of hats. I come from a long line of great hat wearers (including my sister above).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inspired this tam and mitten set which draws on the knitted hats of the 1910s and 20s. I was trying to name the set when I saw some publicity stills for the adaptation of Vera Brittain’s \u003cem\u003eTestament of Youth\u003c\/em\u003e, one of which features a knitted tam. As one of my amazing hat wearing family was called Vera too, there was only one choice as a title for this pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hat is constructed by knitting the cabled band first and then picking up stitches for the crown. It is a surprisingly easy way of making a hat that fits well and looks great.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable pattern also runs up the back of the mittens creating a vintage look in a cosy mitten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LoveCrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56734840947066,"sku":"UPID35243","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/04c8056876fc030b6d9c90636052187e58dcee02_UPID35243_172839903054395.jpg?v=1775738201","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-gb\/products\/vera-hat-and-mittens-knitting-pattern-by-bronagh-miskelly","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
