I Knitted Like the Victorians: A Victorian Cycling Sweater
I knitted a Victorian cycling jumper. I made sure to stay as close as possible to the original instructions, but also made sure that it fit me as well as possible. This required a few alterations, but I believe that's probably what they would have done back then as well.
If you want to knit this jumper too, you can find the instructions here: https://archive.org/details/krl004029...
MATERIAL USED
1 mm set of 5 double-pointed knitting needles
2 mm circular knitting needles
560 g Merino 4-ply yarn, Yardage: 400m /100g
The yarn in other colors, dyed by my mother, can be found in her online shop (it is in German): https://www.reich-sandra.com/produkt-...
