The knitting is all wrong - far too coarse.

It should be really really thin thread and tiny needles - or what they would have used is knitting frames, the fore runners of the domestic knitting machine we have today. Knitting was mechanised over 400 years ago, but all the refinements were to use finer yarns and more needles. The bulky/chunky machines were brought out in my lifetime.
