Description

From the book: "This elegant version of Diamond Brocade carries a historical footnote of a rather gruesome nature. It is one of the patterns in a vest worn by King Charles I of England on the day of his execution 1649. This vest, a marvelous piece of master knitting of the period, was worked in blue silk. It was preserved in the London Museum."
