A Cute little sweater from 1941. Produced during the rationing era,
it’s worked from side to side in alternating stripes. The yarn used
was 2 ply on No. 10 and 12 needles. 6oz (170 grams) of grey for
the man colour with oddments of flame and navy for alternating

You could try 3 or 4 ply as well. But always check the tension first
making sure you get it right before commencing.

The needles are old sizes so I have included a conversion
