Jersey with a Soft Bow

  • Jersey with a Soft Bow pattern was originally published in 1946. It is a sophisticated little sweater combining a delicate lace stitch with a ribbed yoke. The keyhole neckline is finished with an elongated neckband which can be tied into a bow. Options for both short and long sleeves are provided. The sweater is knitted in separate flat pieces and sewn together.

    Jersey with a Soft Bow is knitted using Susan Crawford Perle fingering weight, a luxurious fingering weight yarn, blended from 50% cashmere and 50% silk.

    Jersey with a Soft Bow is shown here in shades Preciosa.

    Our model Fleur is shown wearing the first size to fit chest 76-81cm (30-36in). This garment is knitted with negative ease, as the stitch pattern is required to stretch when worn.

    The pattern includes instructions for three sizes to fit chest measurements between 76cm (30in) and 127cm (50in) and contains clear written instructions, plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.
