The jumper is designed to be worn fitted to the waist and is based on the classic 1940s silhouette. The sleeves incorporate the iconic box sleeve head of the period or alternatively can be made with simple gathered sleeves. It is available in a range of sizes from 28-50 inches and is knitted in Jamieson & Smith 2 ply jumper weight or my own Excelana 100% British 4 ply wool. The yarns are the equivalent of a standard 4 ply. The jumper is knitted in four separate pieces using a combination of fair isle and intarsia techniques. Full making up instructions are also included.

This pattern comes in 6 sizes 28-30, 32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46, 48-50.
