1930's Knitting - An Aristocrat in White and Scarlet

An Aristocrat in White and Scarlet
Australian Woman's Weekly 1935
(32" Bust)


"You’ll agree this jumper is lovely enough to set every knitting needle a-flying! Featuring the new, wide shoulder effect, this delightful diagonal-rib jumper combines scarlet and white - that much loved color combination - very effectively. The back, front and sleeves are knitted up to a certain point, joined together, then all the stiches are picked up on four needles and the yoke is worked round and round as you would for a stocking. Use two needles to make the body and sleeves."

1930's Knitting - A Symphony in Green

A Symphony in Green
Australian Women's Weekly 1935
(34" Bust)

Another exclusive design from  Paris for you to knit your wayswiftly, unerringly, to indooror outdoor charm. A Parisian garment to catch and hold your attention is the unusual shaped neckline - so snug-fitting; also the strapped centre piece which, in the original jumper, has been decorated with three black buttons. A matching belt in suede is advocated; or you could wear a silver belt with marked success if you substituted chromium buttons for the black.

1940's Knitting - Snappy Sports Jacket

Snappy Sports Jacket
Australian Woman's Weekly 1942

In THIS SMART LITTLE NUMBER you will not only feel snug against chilly wind, but cute enough to be in the front line of attention. The berries which adorn it look tricky, don't they? But really they're just a combination of purl and plain.
