OMG Isn’t this fabulous! and it’s knitted sideways with multi-coloured stripes. It’s also wearable in Spring and Summer as it has short sleeves (and here in the UK it’s going to be the hottest I’ve ever known it tomorrow at 33 degrees C, so obviously thick winter sweaters aren’t on my mind at the moment). It is green, fawn, rust, yellow and brown and is for a 33-35 inch bust. I’ve spotted that a couple of the other Stitchcraft Leaflets I have scanned were originally featured in the monthly Stitchcraft Magazine, so here it is as the cover photo.
Here are the pdfs (which are clearer and zoomable compared to the pictures) Page 1 and Page 2 and 3
OMG. I love this!! I’ve seen it before, and have always wanted the pattern! This is my next knit, end of discussion 🙂 Now, what colors to choose…? Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ve knitted this jumper in the colours of the original. I found it on zilredloh.com – there is a colour pic of it. It was the cover design from a 1936 edition of Stitchcraft. It must have been so popular that it was released as a single pattern too. I blogged about it here:http://blitzknits.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/out-and-about-in-my-london.html
I’ve knitted it too in completely different colours to the pattern. I posted it on Ravelry if you fancy a nosey? It layers rather well over a jersey roll neck.
Can you post a link to your Ravelry project? I’d love to see it!
Caroline, I don’t know to post a link? But if you look for me – Claire Gittins – on Ravelry you’ll find my Starring stripes jumper.
Sooo pretty! Thank you so much for sharing this pattern, I totally have to knit it up someday soon! 🙂 ❤
xox,

I think I have a colour leaflet of this pattern, I will have a look.
