This vintage 1950s knitting pattern features a neat, fitted ladies sweater with a delicate
crochet flower insert set into a mock cable design. Combining both knitting and crochet
techniques, it offers beautiful detail without being overly complicated, perfect for vintage
knitting enthusiasts.
The original pattern calls for 2-ply yarn, though 3-ply or 4-ply yarn can be substituted if
preferred, just be sure to check your tension with a small test swatch. The sweater is
finished with three buttons and designed to fit a 32–33 inch bust.
It uses vintage needle sizes (No. 9 and No. 12 knitting needles, plus a No. 13 crochet
hook), with a conversion chart included to help you match modern equivalents easily.
