Wowser!! How amazing is this jumper? Perfect for any archaeologist,
Egyptologist, Indiana Jones fan (it has a bit part in the Last Crusade),
or just someone who enjoys a fun pattern
Although it says it's Fair Isle, it is intarsia with the motif yarns being picked up and dropped as you go.
As well as the full pattern, I have also added the 2 charts separately to make things clearer and for you to copy and cross the lines out (should you want to) as you go
Also, it's in a great modern size but if you need it slightly smaller, then change down a needle size
Date: late 1940s
Measurements: to suit a 36" to 38" 91-97cm bust; length 18.5" 47cm; sleeve seam 5" 13cm
Materials: 3-ply or light fingering; 3mm US 2.5, 2.75mm US 2 needles; 5 small buttons; medium crochet hook
Original used 6 ozs of main colour (yellow), 1 ozs in tan and scarlet; 0.5 oz of royal blue and 0.25 oz each of grey, green, white, and black of Copley's 3-ply Excelsior Wool
Tension: 9 stitches and 10 rows to 1 inch using 3mm US 2.5 needles over Fair Isle
