An irresistibly gay affair is this little jumper. It is knitted in tomato and white, in a wool which has silk in its weave. It isn’t actually one of the STITCHCRAFT special designs for beginners, but it is simple enough for anyone to tackle.

  • 11 ozs. “Cyntilla” Lustre Wool, 3-ply (original uses 8 ozs. tomato, shade 7093, and 3 ozs. white)
  • 1 pair No. 11, 1 pair No. 9 “Inox” knitting needles

Measurements:
Bust 34 inches;
Length 17 inches;
Sleeve seam 20 inches.
These measurements can be altered two inches either way by using needles one size smaller or larger than recommended above.
