Make It Your Own In Two Shades Of The Same Colour—One Light, One Dark

MATERIALS
Three ounces of Copley’s 3-ply “ Excelsior” Wool in a dark shade and 3 ounces of the same wool in a lighter shade (for a jersey with long sleeves get 4 ounces of each colour), a pair each of No. 10 and No. 13 knitting needles, short cable needle, 3 press-studs.

For a bust measurement of 34 to 36 inches use No. 9 needles for the main part and No. 12 for the finer.

TENSION AND MEASUREMENTS
Worked at such a tension that one repeat of the pattern (10 sts.) measures 14 inches in width with No. 10 needles, the measurements on the diagram are attained after light pressing.

Actual gauge given is 1 pattern repeat (10 stitches) over 1.25 inches for smaller size. For larger size, instructions simply direct use of larger needles. A short double-pointed or cable needle is needed to work the trellis pattern. Three snap-fasteners/press studs needed for shoulder fastening.

Can be made with optional long sleeves. Quantities required are specified as 3oz dark and 3oz light of original wool (“Copley’s 3-ply Excelsior”), or 4oz of each colour for the long-sleeved variant.

Pattern includes diagram showing shape and measurements of each piece of jersey. The trellis design is obtained by carrying two stitches out of every six in the dark rows up over four light rows to the next dark row, where they are crossed over and knitted back in.
