Knitting patterns/instructions to make vintage lady's 1940s Fair Isle patterned sweater.  

Please note: This listing is ONLY for the sweater.  I have the cardigan and also the full twin set as seperate listings, so you can choose which you want.

  • Size: 36/38 inch bust.
  • Materials required:
    • Jumper: -  5 ounces (approx 142 grams) 3ply yarn in natural (main colour), 1/2 ounce each (approx 14 grams) of: green, red, blue and yellow. Pair each No. 12 (2.75mm) and No. 9 (3.75mm) knitting needles. 
    • And for that authentic 1940s look also you'll need a pair of shoulder pads.

Please Note: These are quality, cleaned,  restored  and enlarged copies of the patterns for you to knit the item/s yourself. It is NOT for the original patterns or the finished article/s. 

The patters are printed in A4 format on heavy weight paper with colour photos and charts where applicable.  They will be posted in plastic sleeves and board backed C4 envelope to protect them. 

Due to the age of the patterns, the original yarn suggested may not be available.  It is recommended to knit a tension square with your chosen yarn, before starting, to ensure the finished garment or item is the size you require. 

If you have any questions about the item please contact me, I have years of experience knitting and crocheting.

I am listing other original and reformatted (out of copyright or copyright free) Knitting and Crochet patterns for sale and will combine postage on multiple patterns if you contact me before paying, to allow me to send a combined postage invoice for you as it will not be automatically calculated at checkout. 

If you are bidding on more than one item, please wait for the invoice with combined packing & postage before paying.

The pattern will be sent via royal mail 2nd class to keep costs down, and I get proof of postage.  Other than weekends I can usually post your pattern within 24 hours.  Whilst I make every effort to ensure the patterns are protected well for transit, should there be any issues with the pattern, please contact me to allow me to resolve them before leaving feedback.

Please note postage and packaging costs quoted are for mainland UK via myHermes or Royal Mail. Certain areas of Scotland and Ireland may unfortunately incur additional postage charges.  I am happy to search for the cheapest postage cost for delivery to non-standard service areas, please ask before bidding.
