1950s Double Crochet Sweater Pattern – Bust 36–38

This 1950s crochet pattern is for a simple sweater worked entirely in double crochet.

The straightforward stitch pattern makes it a good choice for anyone looking for an uncomplicated vintage crochet project.

Originally made in Emu Apollo Triple Twist yarn, the sweater is worked with a 4.75 mm crochet hook. As vintage yarns do not always correspond exactly with modern yarn weights, I recommend choosing a substitute by matching the stated tension rather than relying on the original yarn name.

The pattern tension is 9 stitches to 4 inches.

Designed to fit a 36–38 inch (91.5–96.5 cm) bust.
