This 1940s knitting pattern features a bra-style vest with a shaped, supportive top worked in a
subtle floral design that sits neatly against the body. The rest of the vest is knitted in a firm rib
for structure, while the matching panties use a wider rib to give a comfortable fit with a bit of
stretch.
The set is worked in fine 2-ply yarn, using 3.75mm and 2.75mm needles, with a small crochet
hook used for the finishing details. You’ll also need ribbon for the shoulder straps and elastic
for the panties to complete the fit as intended.
Designed to fit a 34 inch bust, the pattern has a tension of 7.5 stitches per inch. It’s a practical,
well-thought-out design that reflects the focus on fit and function typical of the period, while
still having a distinctive vintage look.
