"Sweaters, Modish, Comfortable and Becoming. Everywhere we go we see them, these summer garments, trim, stylish and inexpensive as well--since, when one possesses the ability to use the crochet-hook or the knitting-needles, the only cost is for materials. Light and cool, the sweater, of whatever style, gives one the feeling of being 'dressed to go out'; it is donned on every occasion, and gains steadily in prestige. The models presented are of the newest, and will be welcomed."
Original instructions for the sweater only, and a larger photo, may be found here.

Oh but the hat!!! This sweater could look very nice, it would be great to see the finished product.
I deliberately left the hat out because it is crochet and I'm not a crocheter...I may have to reconsider that decision!
This is so cool! I added it to Ravelry!
thanks...I recently won seven pre-1923 mags on ebay and will be scanning and adding several needlework projects to this blog over the next few weeks.
Hi Shay, I love the sweater and would like 2 to use the pattern for a knitting class. Is this possible?
Thanks
Christine
Is it OK to use this for a knitting class? I would be OK with a fee.
Chris; it's great that you asked, but this pattern is long out of copyright and I have no claim on any fee. I'm tickled someone wants to make it.
I would only ask that you send me some photographs of the class and the finished sweaters so I can post them on the blog. Contact me at blueprairie at yahoo dot com.
