This is part of an historically inspired Knit Along with an actual event on 28 October, 2023 hosted by St. Lawrence County Historical Association and TAUNY! We are knitting a Sontag. Plus a couple companion videos.

The instructions are given for the size listed, but as with historical garments and accessories, this pattern is more of a recipe.

This pattern includes guideline charts to help with extending the patterning over shaping. The entire Sontag is not charted and you will need to be able to extend established patterning over shaping.

This pattern matches the Closer to Our Heads & Hands pattern set. All of these patterns are included with bunnymuff Patreon membership.
