by Lee Target
Pattern published in October 1963
Bust 34”, 36”, 38”
Length 24”, 25”, 26”
Sleeve 17”, 17”, 17.5”
The pattern is worked the same for all sizes using different needle size to change gauge.
Needle size & tension/gauge
34” = 3.25mm (UK 10) & 3.75mm (UK 9), gauge - 26st to 4”
36” = 3.75mm (UK 9) & 4mm (UK 8), gauge - 24st to 4”
38” = 4mm (UK 8) & 4.5mm (UK 7), gauge - 22st to 4”
Yarn amounts (of suggested Motoravia DK)
34” = MC 14oz, CC 4oz
36” = MC 15oz, CC 4oz
38” = MC 16oz, CC 4oz
When working the FairIsle the wool should be stranded evenly and loosely across back of the work.
The wool suggested by the pattern is called ‘Double Knitting’ but has a tension nearer to Worsted.
