woman knit socks/ stockings ( taller then socks) / mittens / and waistcoats
it was done on small needles with fine threads and very poor instructions if they could find instructions ..
almost all was knit stitch seamless
the waistcoats were worn underclothing and tightly fitted to keep warm .. they would be the equivalent to a tight closely knit sweater worn under your clothing ..
there was no real flair and style .. knitting was for useful items so it had to be strong , closely knit and warm ..
