I love vintage patterns and I’m very excited to start knitting this classic 1945 Victory Jumper, one of the original 1940s patterns from Britain. During the Second World War, women in the country were encouraged to contribute to the war effort by knitting, particularly for the troops. Many patterns were given away for free. This pattern, along with others, is now freely accessible on the V&A website. While the originally suggested yarns for the jumper are discontinued, I find the Irish Studio Donegal Darnie yarns to be good alternatives.
