Johnson, is a relaxed lace knit top with grown on sleeves and a round neck combining to create a 'T-shirt' top. The all-over lace pattern and dainty picot edgings added to neckline and sleeves come together to result in a very feminine, delicate sweater - the original of which can be found in the Shetland Museum archives and was knitted by Christina Johnson in the 1950s. The simple lace stitch and relaxed sleeve shaping create a wonderfully airy fabric making this the perfect knit to wear on warmer days.
The pattern includes instructions for 6 sizes to fit chest measurements 76 - 142cm (30 - 56in) and is designed to be worn with some positive ease. The pattern contains clear written instructions plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart, together with clear charted instructions for the lace pattern.
Johnson is knitted using
Susan Crawford Fenella, a vintage 3 Ply weight wool, created to replicate the fine vintage yarns of this period. It is dyed in-house in a wide range of vintage shades and is shown here in Porcellana.
