My Weekly No.3C: Great vintage girl's jumper and skirt set knitting pattern 1930s. This lovely set is so typical of the time and is to fit a 12 year old or 29 inch chest. This skirt is attached to a petticoat bodice, which was very popular at the time. Knitted in yarn similar to modern 4ply. Always work a tension square.

My Weekly No8C: Great vintage girl's dress knitting pattern from the 1930s. This pattern has instructions for a little dress to fit a 5 year old or 22 inch chest knitted in vintage 4ply so try both modern 4ply and modern double knitting wool in a tension square. With cute collar and self belt and front buttoning, this is very pretty in any decade.
