Year – 1928, published in Leach’s Six Penny Knitting Series Issue 104 which is subtitled Jumper-Suits, Jumpers and Cardigans.
Size -Width around under arms is 38 inch bust, but it is supposed to be baggy, or “have positive ease” as modern knitters call it. I suggest it is intended for 34 to 36 inch bust
Yarn Size – 3 ply

I love that it’s in blue, gray, and orange! I love blue and orange together. Regarding the bust size, it says in the the callout on the first page of the pattern that it’s for a 33-36″ bust.

How do I get a copy of this pattern? My partner would love it (hopefully)!

This jumper is fantastic, but I was wondering if you have the pattern for the skirt the cover model is wearing also?

Hmm I’m not sure. I scanned it at the British Library and probably didn’t scan the skirt pattern.

Oh, that’s a shame. Well, thank you for offering this pattern, I really love 20’s fashion.

The “modern” design on front panel is remarkable. I find it much more aesthetically pleasing than the rounded, overly simplistic designs of today. It’s odd how we have everything mechanized, instant, so we have more free time, yet even in design it has reverted to the most simple and basic of patterns.

What a delightful tunic. Art deco clothing at its best.
