Some of you may know that my daughter, Phoebe’s, passion is historical clothing. She has been researching clothing styles for the last few years and when she saw this 1890s cycling sweater at the Met, she knew she had to have it.
I needed a new knitting project at the time and volunteered to make it for her.
The entire sweater is rib knit and took FOREVER but it was oh, so worth it for those ginormous sleeves.
Phoebe is thrilled that it is finally cool enough to wear it!
I used the original 1890s knitting patter than can be found here.
