This cardigan, with its aeroplane pockets, should make the heart of any youngster rejoice. The original is made of a mixed wool-fawn, white and blue, with 4 buttons and blue aeroplanes.

The button on the pocket serves two purposes. It keeps the nose of the aeroplane in correct position to the wing, and indicates the pilot in the cockpit!
