1940s Striped Twin Set Knitting Pattern – V-Neck Cardigan and Bow Front Jumper

This lovely 1946 striped twin set features a V-neck cardigan and a matching short-sleeved jumper finished with a pretty tie bow at the front. Both pieces are worked entirely in single rib (knit one, purl one), giving the set a beautifully textured finish. Wear them together for the complete 1940s look or separately with your favourite skirts and trousers.

The original pattern is designed to fit a 33–35 inch bust and uses Patons Beehive Fingering 2-ply yarn, which is a light fingering 3-ply equivalent. You will need approximately 4 oz of the lighter shade and 5 oz of the darker shade, together with No. 10 (3.25 mm) and No. 12 (2.75 mm) knitting needles.

The original tension is 11 stitches to 1 inch, measured unstretched over single rib using No. 10 (3.25 mm) needles.

A charming and versatile little set from 1946, with plenty of possibilities for choosing your own colour combination.
