This sewing pattern includes historical information and instructions for the knitted sweater and a crocheted snood to keep hair in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eShirt\u003c\/strong\u003e is styled from men's sport shirts and is know today as a camp shirt.  It is a timeless shirt made in crisp white cotton, and lots of fun made in extra-large in bright tropical prints or patterns. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pleated \u003cstrong\u003eSlacks\u003c\/strong\u003e have side pockets and a back zipper.  Straight legs fall smoothly from the hips for a clean look.  Add the sweetheart-shaped bodice for \u003cstrong\u003eOveralls\u003c\/strong\u003e with straps that cross in the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe charming \u003cstrong\u003eSweater \u003c\/strong\u003eis knit in two colors in alternating garter and stockinette stitches.
