Bestway: A “2 Coupon” Jumper

This knitting pattern was produced by Bestway in about 1940. The pattern is for a short-sleeved ‘two coupon’ ladies jumper. This knitting pattern was produced in the 1940s while wool was still being rationed in Britain. It would only have taken two coupons worth of wool to produce. The cover shows a black and white image of a woman modelling the jumper, which is described as ‘harlequin’ style.
