It's in a book called Vintage Knitwear for Modern Knitters by Lise-Lotte Lystrup, and is described as a Riding jumper from 1949.<br /><br />I have this jumper knit up (not from this pattern but bought on Ebay years ago) in pine green and I absolutely LOVE it. So happy to have found the pattern so I can knit it up one day when mine goes toSimonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832983800703846580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-9736846054867850212015-01-24T15:03:44.818+00:002015-01-24T15:03:44.818+00:00I'm only just in the middle of watching series...I'm only just in the middle of watching series one so have a lot to catch up on but am looking forward to all the lovely knitwear spotting to come!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-32723039492721100092015-01-23T14:43:19.898+00:002015-01-23T14:43:19.898+00:00Great post, I so agree on the assassins fair isle ...Great post, I so agree on the assassins fair isle jumper :) Sunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144458173180092289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-10695984452121683922015-01-23T10:41:44.421+00:002015-01-23T10:41:44.421+00:00Great post.
