Royalty rocks the world of fashion. Like it or not when a Royal person put something on, the fashion world is atwitter with who made it and where we can get our paws on one for ourselves. Queen of this was the lovely Princess Diana, whose clothes were coveted by ladies across the world. And now you can knit a bit of Lady Di fashion yourself.
Designers Muir and Osborne have donated their Sheep Sweater knitting pattern which you can download in return for a donation, featuring a herd of handmade white sheep and a single stand out black one, to the marvellous folks at p/hop. P/hop who raise money for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders's life saving work around the world.
If Princess Di doesn't float your boat, know that there is a copy of this sweater in the Victoria and Albert Museum and even David Bowie has sported this sheepy sweater.
There are tons of other p/Hop patterns to knit, crochet and give you that warm fuzzy feeling while you craft too. Baaaaavellous.
Stitching something right royal? Let us know in the comments below.
