A rare & lovely original vintage 1940s hand-knitted jumper, skilfully made from fairly fine, soft yarns which feel like pure wool in pinky beige with intarsia oak leaf & acorn patterns in greens, browns, yellow & black on the front. It has a round neck, ribbed waistband & cuffs, and fastens at the neck back with poppers. The pattern used was Bestway C2156.
