Description
This striking 1935 pin-stripe jumper knitting pattern creates visual interest by working the stripes
vertically and horizontally—a clever construction technique that gives the illusion of tailoring.
Originally made in cherry red and white, you can customise it with any colour combination to
suit your style.
The top and bottom sections are worked separately, with ribbed welts added afterward
The jumper is worked in twisted garter stitch, created by knitting into the back of each stitch,
resulting in a textured, structured fabric. Wear it on its own as a chic vintage pullover, or wear it
over a blouse for a layered look.
