This is taken from the Stitchcraft special No. SC10 – Twin Sets each in 3 sizes. It is possibly from the WW2 period – actually I know I have seen an advert for it in one of my copies of Stitchcraft, but can’t find it now to exactly date it. My own pratice fair isle swatch is coming along very slowly – two rows at a Knit and Natter meeting, three rows at home here and there. Unlike my usual knitting I can’t multitask and watch TV or chat at the same time, and I’m not enjoying it as much so have started something easier. Any advice for getting over this fair isle hump?
Here it is on Google docs. Scroll down for jpegs.
Hello, I am enjoying knitting up this pattern. I am in the process of knitting the sleeves of the cardigan, and have come to the place in the instructions where it says to “Shape top as for Cardigan, page 11.” Could you please provide those missing instructions? Thank you for all the beautiful patterns you have posted, and for taking the time to help me complete my project.
Got your message! Sorry about that. I’m rummaging in the physical archive now to find the original pattern and will post it straight away when I find it.
Fixed it! I’ve added the extra paragraph to the page & the Google document too. Happy vintage knitting!
This is lovely, I really like cardigans that have little bands of Fairisle.
Thanks for sharing this! Its a really beautiful pattern. Its time to start knitting fairisle!
Amazingly I managed to find this, post it note it and put it in the to scan box about three years ago and then forgot about it. Was great to rediscover such a good pattern.
Beautiful! Thanks Caroline 🙂
