Slash Neck Jumper
’A 1940s-inspired Slash Neck jumper, knit in modern 4-ply wool’
Inspired by the original 1940s jumper knitting patterns published in Stitchcraft Magazine, this new pattern is aimed at the beginner knitter. It has a slash neck and a wide hem typical of the 1940s with a slight puff to the sleeve. There is a small stitch pattern giving a textured feel to the main body of the jumper. Instructions are given for both short and long sleeves.
There are guides to blocking pieces and setting in sleeves plus a gallery of alternative stitch patterns that could be used for the main body of the jumper.
