A popular past time in post-war Britain, home knitting from centuries old patterns offered an inexpensive and practical way to dress the family. Homespun sweaters were passed down through the generations and worked their way into the wardrobes of British youth throughout the 60s to 80s. Every tribe found a way of adopting the traditional styles – be it oversized and loose and teamed with a tennis bomber or slim and sharp worn over a button up Fred Perry shirt.
