Now this promises it is suitable for beginners, but as I haven’t tried it I can’t promise this. I can promise that it will be incredibly chic. The bust size is 32- 34 inches and it’s an incredibly short pattern, so shouldn’t take long to make. The spots are embroidered on afterwards. It is Stitchcraft Leaflet 162, from 1939. Isn’t her hair-do fabulous!
Here are the pdfs – Spots are chic and Spots are Chic page 2 and 3
[Like the last few things I’ve added to the site, this was scanned into a pdf format and so the pictures below are screenshots and pdfs have a much higher resolution. I think I have proven myself to be old now, by not being interested in learning a new thing about computer technology because it will be too hard (ie. how to properly turn a pdf into a jpg) and instead thinking of the quickest way around.]

What yarn weight is recommended for this? I’m assuming something like 3 ply but I want to be sure before I start this project
The first yarn is 4ply Patons Super Bouclet https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/patons-uk-bouclet
The second is Patons Super Crepe which I couldn’t find by searching using Google, but also probably 4ply.
In Susan Crawford’s A Stitch In Time books, she says that our modern 4ply is thicker. I would use this yarn https://susancrawfordvintage.com/collections/4-ply
Thanks! Love it! You could sew on some bobbles or pompoms or sequins instead of the spots too, or tiny embroidered flowers might be nice…
Ooo, I like this. Thank you for sharing.
