1940s Leaf Stitch Jumper Knitting Pattern – Vintage Short Sleeve Sweater – Bust 35″ (89cm)

A fitted short-sleeve sweater with a beautifully textured all-over leaf motif. The design has
a softly shaped waist, ribbed hem, and a neat neckline, giving it the polished silhouette
typical of mid-century knitwear. A short zipper at the back neck finishes the piece and
keeps the front pattern uninterrupted.

Originally knitted in Sirdar Majestic Wool 3-ply, the jumper has a lightweight feel that
works well for spring or early autumn layering. The textured leaf stitch adds depth while
still keeping the sweater elegant and wearable with skirts or high-waisted trousers.
