Wimples
Posted by: docsheri <docsheri@...>
It is a knitted tube. And it will fill in all the space in your coat
collar. Or go over it. Your face is protected by it but it is not worn over
the face. It comes close around it, sometimes I add a few rows of ribbing.
Then, if you put your hands up inside at the shoulder end, you can spread it
wider to fit. But I usually have mine inside the coat. I imagine they are
like the ones of ancient times in name and 'look' only...... The original
ones I saw were cloth tubes......1970's. But i enjoy knitting. Even took
it with me to the hospital last week.
