PATTERN INFORMATION

Baudot (tam)

This lace slouch beanie hides a secret…worked into the pretty lace pattern is an original cipher code, ‘Baudot’ from Bletchley Park. It reads, ‘knit, tink, knit, tink’. Here's hoping you'll enjoy the knitting and not have to do too much of the tinking!

Materials

Bombe (cowl)

Inspired by the Bombe machine, used in the decryption process at Bletchley, the circle motif represents the drums on the machine. Worked in the round and grafted together to give a fully reversible cowl.

Gauge is not critical but will affect finished size and yarn amounts.

Colossus (tank top)

As soon as I saw the early computer Colossus I knew it would inspire a piece of knitwear. The cables weave in and out connecting all the valves and switches that need to be set to crack the codes. The cables in this tank top are a little more orderly. With beautiful patterned waist shaping and classic lines this is perfect for capturing the style of the Wrens who worked the machine.

Hut 8 (cardigan)

Joanne says, "I was astounded to learn that more than 130 female civilians worked in secret at Bletchley, filing, punching holes and carrying out routine tasks. Without their administrative help the code cracking wouldn't have happened. This everyday classic cardigan is a tribute to these ladies."
