Seaman's Jersey
OF COURSE, MEN Like Smart KNITTEDS. That is why we chose this aristocrat among them. They’ll be proud to wear a jersey like this, and we know you’ll love to knit it… ANY old kind of sweater, pullover, or jersey will not do the man of to-day. He likes comfort, oh, yes!—but he prefers that this quality or quantity is supplemented by “good looks” in the clothes he wears. By the way, this jersey is ideal for yachting, as Viyella wool is used—this wool is guaranteed unshrinkable, color fast. And no matter how many dips it may have in the briny, the jersey will not sag or bag, will never lose its shape—so it’s well worth the making.
The pattern is distinctive and very neat, and the body is made with a snappy little diagonal rib having two lines of cable stitch on either side. The sleeves are worked in stocking-stitch, the polo collar and cuffs in a k.2, p.2 rib.
Materials: 22oz. Viyella knitting wool, shade V. 38; pair each of No. 9 and 10 and one spare needle with points both ends; set of four No. 12 needles.
Measurements: Length, 28 inches; chest 40/42 inches; sleeve, 21 inches.
