Dolores #18 Queen of Michigan Avenue Outerwear Kit by Franklin Habit includes the PDF pattern download, all the Berkshire Bulky yarn needed to knit this fabulous outfit, and a Dolores mug (not microwave safe!)
Shopping, says Dolores, is an art form. It requires preparation, concentration, and inspiration. Also, the perfect costume. As the tutu is to the ballerina and the beret to the painter, so are the proper statement overcoat and hat to the virtuoso bargain hunter. This formidable ensemble, topped by a chic pillbox almost as high as your credit limit, halts overeager scent-squirters in mid-spritz and snaps even the most jaded shopgirl to full attention. At the height of sale season, the sparkly brooch closure (designs vary, allow us to select one just for you) will dazzle and distract the competition as you root through the Final Markdowns bin, and ultra-plush fabric knit from Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky will protect your dainty bits from sharp elbows. Note: Dolores doll is not included with outfit kit.
