1940s Puff Sleeve V-Neck Jumper Knitting Pattern – Bust 33–34 Inches

This 1940s jumper combines little puff sleeves with a deep V-neck and a fitted, girdle-style waist. Worked in a simple stitch, it has softly gathered fullness above the waist and seven decorative buttons down the front. It’s a lovely choice to wear with high-waisted skirts or trousers.

The pattern is designed to fit a 33–34 inch bust (84–86 cm).

The period materials specified are 4 oz (approximately 114 g) of Sirdar Super Shetland 2-ply wool, one pair each of No. 9 (3.75 mm) and No. 12 (2.75 mm) knitting needles, and seven fancy buttons. If using a modern replacement yarn, choose it by the required tension rather than the ply name alone.

The tension is 7½ stitches to 1 inch (2.5 cm), measured unpressed. Knit a tension square before beginning to check your yarn and needle combination.
