1950s Three-Colour Cap Sleeve Jumper Knitting Pattern – Mandarin Collar, Bust 34

This vintage knitting pattern is for a cap-sleeve jumper worked in stocking stitch using three contrasting colours.

The front and back are similarly shaped, with a zip opening at the back neck. The jumper is finished with a two-part Mandarin-style collar, giving the neckline its distinctive shape.

Originally knitted in Sirdar Majestic Wool 2-ply, the pattern requires 2 oz (57 g) each of grey, pink and mulberry, or three colours of your choice.

You will also need three 12-inch old UK No. 11 (3 mm) double-pointed needles and a 7-inch zip.

The stated tension is 9 stitches to 1 inch over stocking stitch. When choosing a modern substitute for the original yarn, match this tension rather than relying on yarn weight alone.

To fit bust 34 inches.
