Wilding is named after Emily Wilding Davidson, the British suffragette. The 1910s-30s vibe of this issue of Pom Pom inspired us to name several of the included patterns after strong women from this era.

pattern. Take time to check your gauge and adjust your
needle size as required.

Loop
4.5 mm / US 7 crochet hook for edgings
Always use a needle/hook size that will result in the
correct gauge after blocking.

Notions: 8 stitch markers, stitch holders or waste yarn,
tapestry needle

Notes: All slipped sts are slipped purl-wise with yarn in
back on RS rows and yarn in front on WS rows.
Due to silk yarn’s tendency to stretch, you may find that
the sleeves and yoke will grow longer during blocking
and wear. Measurements are given before stretching
takes place.
