1940s Wartime Bolero Knitting Pattern – Vintage Cropped Cardigan Sweater

Price range: £3.99 through £5.99

A clean, cropped 1940s bolero with a subtle mock cable texture that adds just enough detail
without overcomplicating the knit. The shape sits neatly at the waist, making it easy to throw
on over dresses, pair with high-waisted pieces, or layer into a more everyday outfit.

Originally designed in fine 3-ply yarn, it can also be worked in 4-ply with a simple adjustment
to needle size and tension, so it fits well with modern yarn choices. The pattern includes both
short and long sleeve options, giving you flexibility depending on how you want to wear it.

Sized to fit up to a 34 inch bust, it’s a lightweight, satisfying project that results in a versatile
piece you’ll keep reaching for.
