OR cool autumn days, cold winter ones, a wool frock is an essential part of your wardrobe.

It's not nearly so difficult to knit yourself one as you think, and it's always nice to have some knitting on hand to do at odd moments or on lazy afternoons.

This is very effective and quite simple to do if you Dark squares study the diagram below. show you where to make the purl stitches; enunt them up as you go.

The model dress was made in slate grey, but choose any colour that suits you well. Particularly good for the design is the kind of wool that has a glinting metal strand in it.

Follow the directions carefully when you're making the dress up and you will find it won't look home-made at all. And it's worth choosing a really good belt in a darker colour to finish it off.
