Product Description
Inspired by one of the most evocative scenes in The Bayeux Tapestry, this adult sized hand-knitted sweater pattern brings the drama of Halley’s Comet into a contemporary garment. The design takes its motif from the famous panel in which the appearance of the comet in 1066 is witnessed with alarm at the court of King Harold.
The original version of the sweater pattern was first included in Knitting Masterpieces (Ruth Herring and Karen Manners) published in 1987 and this reiteration is now graded as 4 sizes and knitted in DK (Light Worsted) yarn. There’s a nod to the original tapestry (which was an embroidery!), with simple embroidery used to create the characterful faces and hands.
A Schematic diagram is included in the pattern to give more detailed sizing, with tips on how to change the length of the sweater.
There are 5 colours used in total based on West Yorkshire Spinners yarns: ColourLab DK and Morris DK
