This 1940s Fair Isle sweater knitting pattern for women features a classic vintage jumper design
that still feels easy to wear today. It uses small amounts of wool, so it’s a practical stash-friendly
project without needing lots of yarn.
The striped Fair Isle pattern is straightforward to follow and enjoyable to knit, worked in 3 ply
yarn for a lightweight finish that layers well.
The finished garment is designed to fit a 34 inch bust, with a length of 19 inches from shoulder
to hem and a sleeve seam of 5 inches, giving it a neat, cropped 1940s shape.
