MAN'S CABLE PATTERN JUMPER

Hubhy came home the other day full of enthusiasm about a new golf jersey which his friend's wife had ju.dt lcnitted. "It loolcs splendid, Mabel; do you think you could knit me one for golf, too? "Why, yes, dear. I'll get the wool and a pattern to-morrow," promised his Wife. No need to buy a pattern, though, Mabel, for here is just the very thing. Mary Anne found it last week, and in case other Mabel's should feel inclined to knit their hubbies a golf jersey, here are the instructions : — Materials Required. — 14oz of 4-ply wool. No. 9 needles. No. 12 needles. Measurement. — 38-inch chest. Begin at the lower edge of the back and cast on 143 stitches on No. 12 needles. Knit in ribhinig- 2 plain, 2 j)url for 4 inches. Change to No. 9 needles, and work in pattern until the work measures 17 inches from the beginning. Pattern. — First Row: Knit G, purl 2, knit 1, purl 2, and repeat from * to end of row. Second Row: * Purl 6, knit 2, purl 1, knit 2 and repeat from * to end of row. Repeat the last two rows three times. On the 7th row you turn the cable like this: — Starting on the right side of the work * slip the first 3 stitches on to a spare needle, knit the next 3 stitches, put the three stitches from the spare needle back on to the other needle again and knit them, purl 2, knit 1, purl 2, and repeat from * Xo end of row. Repeat the last 7 rows throughout the jumper. When the work measures 17 inches shape the armholes by casting off 11 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows.
