    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.
