Isnt this twin set from Marriners 162 so very cute?
I believe its probably very late 1940s, or even early 1950s due to the size and colouring of the booklet. I love the unusual white leaf shapes across the yoke – not to mention gray and red being one of my favourite colour combinations.
Edit – here’s what it looks like knitted up!
The cardigan has the patterned yoke knitted on afterwards, while the jumper is just normal fair-isle.
In four sizes, to fit 34-40 inches.

May 16, 2019 at 11:28 amThanks for the pattern, having trouble reading it I suppose it’s because of the printing and a old pattern . I thought it may have had a graph with it wishful thinking on my behalf ? I’ve been knitting for 70years no my mother didn’t teach me we were taught at school in the second grade and I wish they still did in schools here in Australia ?? as it’s good for the brain

November 2, 2021 at 12:33 amdo you by chance have page 4 still? I started working on the cardigan and got to the end of page 3, only to realize the next step is missing. Thank you in advance!
