I thought that putting up a free pattern would be a nice way to finish off the Plethora of Patterns posts which you can see
here, here and
here. I have chosen the Daisy chain yoke jumper from the May 1958 Stitchcraft magazine as it is so pretty, it is good for the summer and it seems that it would not take too long to knit or be too difficult.
The original was knitted in rose pink and white but I think it would look lovely in any pastel shades. It is knitted in 3-ply in two sizes - 34-35 inch bust and 36-37 inch bust.
The daisies are embroidered on after the garment has been knitted.
If you knit one I would love to see it!
What a lovely pattern! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like it. Do let me see yours if you knit one.
DeleteHow splendidly sweet and pretty! I remember my mom have a few sweaters with similar necklines in the 80s, but they were definitely more 80s than mid-century, and weren't nearly as awesome as this beauty.

Thank you. It is interesting to know about the neckline similarity to the 80s jumpers.
DeleteWish that I were a knitter...

Thank you for visiting Jenny. Have you ever had a go at knitting, it is not so hard to learn the basics. I have sorted out a follower button.
