Walking Suit Knitting Pattern

Primadonna Walking Suit : This pattern contains directions for knitting the suit pictured. This is a two piece design that, vintage 1960, is referred to as a Walking Suit. The suit is a straight skirt, with back zip closure, topped with an extra-long (thigh length) jacket. The jacket features below elbow length sleeves, a elasticized waist and a large bow tie closure. This is an easy to intermediate pattern, worked in stockinette stitch. The yarn, Primadonna, is not available.
