1940 Fan Pattern Jumper Knitting Pattern – Short or Long Sleeves

This pretty 1940 jumper features a lovely fan-like stitch pattern, complemented by neat ribbed welts and a ribbed yoke. With a choice of short or long sleeves, it’s a versatile design that can be made for different seasons. The shaped neckline gives it a particularly attractive finish.

The jumper is designed to fit a 32–34 inch bust. The main body is worked on two needles, with the neckline worked on four double-pointed needles.

The original pattern calls for approximately 7 oz (200 g) of yarn for the short-sleeved version or 8 oz (227 g) for long sleeves. You will also need a pair of No. 9 (3.75 mm) knitting needles and a set of four No. 11 (3.00 mm) double-pointed needles.

A lovely example of early 1940s knitwear, with its decorative stitch pattern and practical choice of sleeve lengths.
