1930s Knitting Pattern for a Chevron Swimsuit Bust 35-37

The costume is worked throughout in stocking stitch. The main colour is purple, with a light
green hem and border running up the sides, forming a chevron above the waist, linked up
by a mauve chevron above. All the angles in the design are the same and are formed by
moving the colours one stitch every row, either to the right or left, according to the design.

Purple, 2 ozs. (57g) in light Jade Green, 2ozs. (57g) in Mauve. A pair of No. 12 (2.75mm)
needles. A No. 13 (2.25mm) Crochet hook.

TENSION: 8.5 stitches and 11 rows to one inch.

The costume will fit a 35-37 inch Bust
