Description: A Classic Straker Design Knitting Pattern #865 Amelia - Women's Jacket Instructions to knit the jacket in 3 sizes, to fit 32" - 40" bust;This vintage knitting pattern is a stylized rendering of a feminine flight jacketDesigned by Penny Straker Penny Straker: “Amelia Earhart is one of my heroes. In my twenties and thirties I often flew – only as co-pilot - in single engine planes. This flying time led me to appreciate and admire Amelia’s courage, determination and aviator skills. This stylized rendering of a feminine flight jacket was designed in the late ‘70s in concert with the arrival of Astrakan yarn to our shop shelves. Here’s to you Amelia Earhart. Astrakhan was a wool, blended with just the right amount of mohair and spun into a tight yet soft and rounded bouclé yarn. It inspired designs in rapid succession. Astrakhan was a true bulky weight yarn yielding a silky and delightfully textured fabric of 3 stitches per inch on #10 needles. The mid-grey heather Astrakan looked like Persian lamb! With all the magnificent yarns in today’s marketplace it will be easy to find a good substitute. Or try combining a lightweight yarn with a heavier weight yarn to create a desired fabric." "Amelia has a dramatic silhouette - an exaggerated puff sleeve –very trendy at its inception – and is detailed with a high cozy funnel neck and slash pockets, just right for hand warming. Knit in Reverse Stockinette Stitch for added texture and lined with a quality satin, one with lots of shimmer in a fabulous color, adds pizzazz as well as comfort."
