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 add moments or on lazy afternoons.

The dress you see here-trim, tailored, smart for wearing without a coat-is made with, two stitches only straight forward

stocking stitch (plain one row, purl the next) and a raised lozenge stitch. This is very effective and quite simple to do if you study the diagram below. Dark squares show you where to make the purf stitches; eaunt them up as you go.

The model dress was made in slate grey, hut 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 chousing a really good belt in a darker colour to finish it ofl'.
