Passap machine knitting instructions for a women’s waistcoat with a single bed fairisle panel running up the fronts. The fairisle patterning is done either manually via the chart given, via a self punched card or Deco card 89. The motif is isolated so that the patterning only takes place over 17 needles.

A pocket is interrupts the fairisle pattern.

The buttonhole, button and neck bands are knit sideways on in 2:2 rib.

The armhole bands are knit as two colour, bias strips.

This skirt matches with 2828 Skirt in the ethnic-tradition look.
