Anny Blatt
THIS jumper, created by Anny Blatt, famous
overseas designer, has a simple, youthful
appeal. Ribs are introduced in an original way
on the sporty collar and front bodice.
Materials: 8oz. Ramada superfine knit-
ting wool, 4-ply. Yellow or any color pre-
ferred. 1 pair each Nos. 11 and 12 Viyella
knitting needles. A medium size dress
hook.
Measurements: To fit 34 to 36-inch bust
measurement. For size larger use larger
needles.
Tension: 8½ stitches and 11 rows to 1
inch.
Abbreviations: K., knit; p., purl; st.,
stitch; dec., decrease (by taking 2
stitches together); inc., increase (by
working twice into the same stitch); ins.,
inches.
Always work into back of the cast on
sts. unless the thumb method of casting
on is used.
FRONT
Commence at lower edge with 123 sts.
on No. 12 needles. Work in rib of k. 3,
p. 3, for 3 ins.
Change to No. 11 needles and continue
in stocking-web until work measures 12
inches on underarm, keeping centre 3
sts. in purl on right side (reverse stocking-
web) to continue the purl rib from welt.
At the same time increase one stitch both
ends of every 8th row until there are 143
sts., after which work straight for about
22 rows.
Shape armholes by casting off 6 sts. at
the beginning of the next 2 rows, then dec.
1 st. at beginning and end of next 6 rows.
At the centre after the 49th row com-
mence the vandykes as follows:—
VANDYKES
50th Row (wrong side of work): Centre
5 sts. k. 51st Row: Centre 7 sts. p. 52nd
Row: Centre 9 sts. k. 53rd Row: Centre
11 sts. p. 5, k. 1, p. 5. 54th Row: Centre
13 sts. k. 5, p. 3, k. 5. 55th Row: Centre 15
sts. p. 5, k. 5, p. 5. 56th Row: Centre 17
sts. k. 5, p. 7, k. 5.
57th Row: Centre 19 sts. p. 5, k. 9, p. 5.
58th Row: Centre 21 sts. k. 5, p. 5, k. 1, p.
5, k. 5. 59th Row: Centre 23 sts. p. 5, k. 5,
p. 3, p. 5. 60th Row: Centre 25 sts. k. 5,
p. 5, k. 5, p. 5, k. 5. 61st Row: Centre 27
sts. p. 5, k. 5, p. 7, k. 5, p. 5. 62nd Row:
Centre 29 sts. k. 5, p. 5, k. 9, p. 5, k. 5.
It will now be seen that the vandykes
are forming five p. stitches wide, followed
by an impressed vandyke five right side
stocking-stitches wide. Continue building
up the vandykes until they occupy the
width of the centre 45 sts., after every
5 rows at centre commencing a new van-
dyke.
The vandyke panel now continues

straight at sides by working one st. less
of reverse stocking-web in the last 4 rows
of vandykes. Continue working until
there are 8 raised vandykes in all, on the
last 4 rows of each of the last three
vandykes carrying the reverse stocking-
web to edge to form three straight ridges
as on back.
After the 8th vandyke has been finished
at centre do not commence another raised
vandyke, but continue in the V of van-
dyke in stocking-web for 7 rows, then on
next row cast off centre st. and continue
the work in two halves to shoulder thus:
Still continue stocking-web at front
edge until last vandyke and straight
ridge is finished. Then work 21 rows
stocking-web. In next row cast off 12
sts. at neck edge, and in next 10 rows dec.
once at neck edge. Knit one row, then
shape shoulders by casting off 5 sts. at
armhole edge in next and alternate rows
and knitting 2 together at same edge in
intermediate rows. When 10 sts. remain
cast off.
BACK
Work exactly as for front, but omit
vandykes, instead continuing the im-
pressed ridge of 3 sts. straight up the
centre until 12 stocking-web rows have
been worked after the armhole shaping.
Immediately after a purl row work 4 rows
reverse stocking-web, 6 rows right side
stocking-web, and repeat last 10 rows
once, then work 4 rows reverse stocking-
web. This forms three raised ridges right
across back.
Continue straight for 28 rows, then to
shape the shoulders cast off 6 sts. at the
beginning of the next 2 rows. Next row,
cast off 5 sts. and k. the last 2 sts. to-
gether. Repeat last row 7 times more.
Cast off remaining sts. loosely.
SLEEVES (BOTH ALIKE)
Cast on 66 sts. on No. 12 needles and
work in rib of k. 3, p. 3, for 3 ins. On
last row increase one st. at end to obtain
an uneven number. Change to No. 11
needles and work in stocking-web inc. one
st. at beginning and end of every 8th
row until there are 109 sts., then continue
straight until sleeve seam measures 18
inches.
Now for top shaping cast off 3 sts. at
beginning of each of next 2 rows, then
dec. one st. at the beginning and end of
every row until there are 69 sts. remain-
ing. Now continue straight until after the
third raised vandyke ridge has been com-
menced.
The vandykes are the same as those on
front of jersey, but point upwards, and
there are only three raised ridges in all.
To commence them work 1 reverse stock-
ing st. each end of first row, 2 at ends of
next, 3 in next, 4 in next, and 5 in the
following rows, moving one st. to the
centre every row until the ridges meet,
where join them to a point by working
9 sts. in one row, 7 in the next, 5 in the
next, 3 in the next, and 1 in the next. On
the 11th row at side after the vandykes,
begin a second raised ridge and start a
third one on the 21st row.

After the 27th row has been worked
(that is 2 rows after the third raised
ridge finishes at side), resume the shaping
of top of sleeve by dec. at both ends of
every other row. At the same time con-
tinue to build up the second and third
raised ridges until they both work off to
a point. Immediately the point of the
third raised ridge is completed continue
in stocking-web, dec. as usual at sides
and taking tog. the centre 3 sts. in every
row. When all sts. are used, fasten off.

THE COLLAR

Cast on 153 sts. on No. 12 needles.
Work in rib of k. 3, p. 3, for 4 ins., and
cast off loosely.

TO MAKE UP

Press each part well on the wrong side
under a damp cloth, but do not press the
ridges too heavily. Sew up side, shoulder,
and sleeve seams, set the sleeves into the
armholes matching the ends of the van-
dykes on sleeves to the ends of those on
back and fronts. Gather top of sleeves
to fit armholes and press armhole seams
well to make top of sleeves stand out
smartly. Double crochet round front of
neck opening, then sew on collar by the
cast off edge. Press the outer edge so
that the ribs are flattened and the collar
lies well. Sew on hook at top of neck
opening to hook into the crochet edging
without showing on the right side.
