90s handknit tom & jerry red wool sweater leopard print and a vivid pink ground

and a vivid pink ground set off by saturated blue

plus a scalloped eyelet hem

prized for its tight curl

yet the named pieces with metallic lurex and figural peacock borders are the ones collectors chase now

Likely handmade with a rear metal zipper and unlined interior

90s handknit tom & jerry red wool sweater leopard print and a vivid pink groundchunky handknit red pullover knit with a stitched in jerry mouse graphic, finished with ribbed crew neck, cuffs, and hem. the motif is built into the knitwork, giving a subtle reverse image on the back that only true handknits get. tom and jerry have been an animation staple since 1940, and vintage knitting patterns from the late 1980s through 1990s show how popular character chart sweaters were for home knitters.
