Description: You are buying an A4 modern print of the original pattern, not the finished item. This super 1930s vintage pattern is for a lady's crochet lace style Jumper with bands of what look like shells or flower heads in the wind! The first four bands in turn are decorated with a single bow for a truly vintage feminine design. When completed, the "Beatrice" jumper will fit a 36 inch bust and is definitely a conversation starter!! The jumper was originally crocheted in 'Beehive Wool String' which according to a newspaper dated the 12th February 1936 had "..the look of string but the feel of wool"!! This Wool String was a Botany wool from Merino Sheep and I cannot find out much else about it. But going by the hook used and tension, I think it maybe a 3-ply. However, you may wish to try this pattern in a modern 4-ply as vintage yarns were 'heavier' than their modern counterparts, but as always work a tension square first to see if a change of needles or in this case ply is needed. This is what I love about vintage patterns the hunt to find a modern equivalent!, which is never impossible, just fun! If you know anything about 'Beehive Wool String' e.g it's exact ply, or have worked with it, contact me through ebay and let me know so I can share the info. with others :0)Materials and measurements are below.
