knitted in astrakhan knitting yarn. A thick
cord finishes the neck and the buttons are
made by coiling a length of the cord flat.
Directions for making are given for two
kinds of astrakhan, the first is for a light-
weight and the second for a heavy weight
yarn. It’s worked throughout in nice and
simple garter stitch

knitting wool; pair of No. 4 (6.00mm)
needles; 1.5 yards of heavy silk cord
