Original pattern published in “WIFE AND HOME”, 1938

Measurements: 34” round bust; 19” length from shoulder; 20” sleeve seam.

Four double-pointed needles in the larger gauge (UK size 8 - 4.5mm) are required for the neck ribbing.

Two colours required for stripes: proportions given in pattern are 3oz of the light contrast colour and 5oz of the main body colour using original wool. Reprint suggests you can make this up in double-knitting weight yarn using UK No.9 and 11 needles in place of original 8 and 11 but this will take more wool.
