Helegant Mar 2018 9:08pm, 11 Mar 2018 5,444 posts	0 Helegant HB, I remember the kits, often with a length of Donegal tweed for the skirt, and a pattern for a yoked fair-isle sweater. As you say, no pattern needed for the skirt as everyone knew how to make one. I also remember dressing my children in those vest/skirts with hand-knitted matching cable jumpers.
