Vintage 1926 Knitting Pattern – Two-Piece Silk Dress with Ribbed Skirt & Jumper

This elegant 1926 two-piece silk dress knitting pattern captures the sophistication of the late
Jazz Age. Featuring a tubular skirt and a matching jumper, both worked in fancy ribbing, this
design is ideal for vintage fashion enthusiasts and costume makers recreating authentic 1920s
styles.

The skirt is worked on four double-pointed needles for a seamless finish, while the jumper is
knitted in one-piece, beginning at the lower back and ending at the lower front. The result is
a beautifully draped, period-accurate outfit that reflects true 1920s style.
