This charming 1940s twin set pairs a classic cardigan with a delicate short-sleeved sweater. The
cardigan is worked in smooth stocking stitch for a clean, timeless look, while the sweater features
a pretty lacy pattern that adds a light, feminine touch. The sweater fastens at both shoulders, a
lovely period detail that also makes it easy to slip on.
The set is knitted in 3-ply yarn using No. 8, 10, and 12 needles, giving the garments their fine
vintage texture.
The sweater measures approximately 33 inches around the underarms, stretching comfortably
to about 35 inches. It is 18¼ inches long from the shoulder, with a sleeve seam of 5 inches. The
cardigan measures about 35 inches around the underarms with the fronts fastened, and is 19
inches long from the shoulder, with an 18-inch sleeve seam.
Altogether, it’s a graceful and practical twin set that captures the neat elegance of 1940s knitwear.
