'The stretchy rib and cables mean that it will fit a variety of sizes, and the sleeves have a nice puffed forties look which is really flattering'

1930's Knitting - A Simple Jumper

A Simple Jumper
December 1935 Edition of Good Needlework34-36" Bust

Knitted in a simple stripe design with smart lines, this is great for a beginner, as it is entirely worked in knit and pearl stitches. The original is for a 35" bust, but because the pattern repeat is only over 6 stitches, its an easy one to size up.
Pattern kindly shared by the lovely Lucy from 1940's Style For You

1930's Knitting - An Aristocrat in White and Scarlet

An Aristocrat in White and Scarlet
Australian Woman's Weekly 1935
(32" Bust)


"You’ll agree this jumper is lovely enough to set every knitting needle a-flying! Featuring the new, wide shoulder effect, this delightful diagonal-rib jumper combines scarlet and white - that much loved color combination - very effectively. The back, front and sleeves are knitted up to a certain point, joined together, then all the stiches are picked up on four needles and the yoke is worked round and round as you would for a stocking. Use two needles to make the body and sleeves."
