Description
This attractive set looks as if it was made of soft
grey Astrakhan fur, when in fact it’s crocheted in
a feather style wool. It’s an easy shape to make,
as the scarf is just a long straight strip with an
added slot to pass one end through. While the
cap has a band made in the feather yarn and the
crown made in plain 4 ply fingering to match.
Its finished with a jaunty feather that was the
fashion at the time.
Hook size 8 (UK old size)
The shades used were darker grey for the scarf
and brim and a lighter grey for the crown.
I can find no reference for this feather wool,
so would assume that it is a looped astrakhan
style yarn, probably 4 ply.
The hat is 6 inches deep will fit a head measurement
of 22 inches. The scarf is 34 inches long and 3.5
inches wide.
The needles are old sizes so I have included a
conversion chart to help
