1940s Polo Blouse Knitting Pattern, Ladies Moss Stitch Cotton Top Bust 34

This 1940s Polo Style Blouse knitting pattern reflects the simple, practical style of the wartime
era. Originally designed in cotton bouclé, it is an easy to wear piece that works well with vintage
slacks or high waisted trousers.

The blouse is worked in moss stitch with ribbed welts, giving it gentle texture while keeping
the design clean and classic.

You will need approximately 10 oz, about 290 g, of cotton or rayon bouclé yarn, likely a 4 ply
weight, though it is recommended to knit a tension square before starting. The pattern uses
a pair of No. 12, 2.75 mm needles for the ribbing and No. 10, 3.25 mm needles for the moss
stitch. Tension is 5.5 stitches to one inch using the No. 10, 3.25 mm needles.

The finished blouse is designed to fit a 34 inch bust, with a length of 19 inches and a sleeve
seam of 5 inches.
