1940s Crochet Cardigan Jacket Pattern – Bust 34

A lovely 1940s crochet cardigan jacket with short sleeves, a neat fitted waist and a long row of small buttons down the front. The textured finish gives it an almost knitted appearance, but the construction is entirely crochet.

The cardigan is first worked as a foundation net using small crochet spaces. The decorative trimming is then worked over these spaces on the right side, gradually building up the distinctive textured surface.

Designed to fit a 34 inch bust.

The original materials specified are 11 oz (312g) Patons Super or Beehive Scotch Fingering 2-ply, a No. 2 (7mm) crochet hook, and 16 small buttons.

The stated tension before the trimming is added is 4 spaces to 1 inch in width and 5 spaces to 1 inch in depth.

This is an actual vintage design and a particularly interesting one for anyone who enjoys unusual period crochet techniques.
