WWI Body Belts, Ties, and Comfort Items
Comfort items and extra items, again all made from the original WWI/Great War patterns. Here we have body belts, washcloth, hot water bottle cover, knee caps, pillow covers, eye bandages, ear muffs, and knitted and crocheted ties. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
This is an abdominal scarf belt. It is wrapped around the torso.

Here is a circular body belt. It is like a tube. It has ribbing at the top and bottom to fit securely.
|
A ribbed body belt. It is knitted in ribbing the whole way around and is also shaped like a tube.
|
This shaped body belt has shaping rather than just a tube shape.

Here is a knitted pillow cover.
|
Knee caps protect the knees and keep them warm.

The knee cap covers I knitted.

Washcloth. This is knitted in cotton rather than wool.

The washcloth I knitted. (This one was from a Scottish pattern, so that's why it is shaped a little differently.

The hot water bottle cover I knitted. The pattern specifies white cotton yarn and cotton tape for the tie at the top.
