Wartime Farm Sleeveless Pullover - Men's

This very popular pattern was based on a sleeveless pullover worn on BBC TV's Wartime Farm series by one of the presenters, Alex Langlands. The garment worn on the show was a recreation of a pattern from the 1930s. This stylish pullover features two recurring motifs, the main motif incorporates the popular OXO pattern and eight pointed star, interspersed with an attractive peerie motif, with simple triangles for emphasis. The colours used are based on those suggested in the original 1930s pattern.

The pullover is knitted in the round, with steek stitches added at the armhole and V-neck opening; the shoulders are grafted together to complete the seamless construction.

The simple, repeating all-over pattern makes this a great pattern for knitters new to circular garment knitting, likewise it is also an excellent pattern to try stranded colourwork for the first time.

There are 12 sizes to fit from 30 inch (76cm) to 60 inch (152cm) chests and full colour charts are provided for each size.
