Golly Wools Easy to Knit Ladies Jumpers
4 ozs 3 ply Golly knitting
One pair UK No 12 and No 8 knitting needles
Tension: Working in stocking stitch on No 8 needles
6 sts and 8½ rows to one inch
As Golly Wool is no longer available, I used Patons Big Baby 3 Ply and UK No 8 and 2.75 mm needles to knit this jumper
This is a much knitted jumper.
The pattern originally belonged to my grandmother and as “the fashions change and then become the same” my grandmother, mother and I have knitted and worn each of these designs.
I had to add a few extra stitches to make the design big enough, they had very small waists in the 1950’s.
Unfortunately the pattern itself hasn’t stood the test of time but I have faithfully retyped it, only keeping the front cover for originality.
