*TPG 46: Fabulous fair isle knitting pattern from the 1920s to fit child 4-6 (27 inch chest). This one is for a cardigan, jumper with collar, beret, scarf and gloves. Colours suggested in pattern are fawn ground (as was common at this time) yellow, moorit, emereld, blue, light yellow, crimson, white and scarlet. There are small charts to show the patterning. Knitted on 4 needles (or circular if you prefer) I personally find 4 needles easier, but them I am in my 60s and was taught to knit on 4 needles in 1954! I love this pattern and think it worth the effort to give it a try - the beret alone is stunning when made up. Vintage 3ply was used so try modern 4ply ( no tension is given)

TPG 47: Great fair isle pattern from the 1920's for childs beret, scarf, jumper, and breeches (trousers) to fit 2-4 year old. This one is worked in vintage 3ply so try modern 4ply for size stated, no chest size for this one, but there is a tension of 6 stitches to an inch on size 9 imperial needles (3.75mm) you could use smaller or lager needles for different sizes (dont forget to allow more wool and inches in length for larger sizes) Colours suggested in pattern are again the fawn ground with green, yellow, blue, orange, dark blue, red. This one also is knitted in 4 needles. You can easily use two needles by dividing the stitches between the back and fronts. Using 4 needles or a circular one for the scarf will mean no seam, but can eaily be knitted straight ad then seamed just cast on the same amount of stiches but on two needles instead, the same with the beret and join seam when fininshed. This applies to the above pattern as well.
