Vintage 1940s Men’s Long Johns Knitting Pattern

Looking for an authentic 1940s men’s long johns knitting pattern. This vintage design offers a
fascinating glimpse into practical wartime knitwear, creating a comfortable pair of knitted long
johns that can be customised to suit the wearer. Originally worked in 3-ply fingering yarn, the
pattern uses No. 9 and No. 11 knitting needles and is finished with six buttons.

The original measurements are approximately 22 inches down the outside leg and 14 inches
down the centre front, although the leg length can easily be adjusted to individual requirements.
Originally specified with rubber buttons, modern nylon buttons provide a suitable alternative
while maintaining the character of the design.

A wonderful pattern for knitters interested in historical clothing, vintage menswear, and
authentic 1940s knitting projects.
