About the pattern
This nursery rhyme inspired pattern is for a pocket and belt.
‘Lucy Locket lost her pocket’ - but how was that even possible?
Historically, ‘pockets’ were bags which were tied around the waist with belts, under a woman’s skirt. The skirt would have an opening so the woman could reach into her pocket, through her skirts and petticoats.
This fairytale pocket on the other hand is styled a bit more for fun summer days and music festivals. Wear it outside your jeans, or outside your leggings.
Just don’t lose it, in case Kitty Fisher is still about!

Sizes
The belt comes in three sizes. It is designed to be worn long, with the belt pulled through the fastening and hanging down to the knee, with a fairytale tie-belt look. Choose the length you want based on your waist circumference and height, and the length you want dangling down.
To fit waists from 22 to 60 inches, with 15-20 inches extra length to dangle. Measure around your waist and down to your knee to choose your size.
