1930s Ladies Cowl Neck Sweater Knitting Pattern Fits 40 Inch Bust

This cowl neck jumper is a late 1930s design with a straightforward shape that still feels wearable
and practical. The style is simple and well balanced with the focus on fit fabric and a softly
structured neckline.

The jumper is made using traditional construction. The body and welts are knitted separately and
then sewn together. The cowl neck is finished with a couple of rows of crochet which gives a neat
edge and helps the neck hold its shape.

Materials and tools
The original pattern uses Femina Botany fingering three ply yarn. You will need approximately 8
ounces (or two hundred and thirty grams). The jumper is worked on No 9 or 3.75 mm needles
and No 13 or 2.25 mm needles.

Tension
The gauge is seven stitches and nine rows to one inch which creates a fine close fabric.

Size
The finished jumper is designed to fit up to a 40 inch bust.

This pattern is well suited to knitters who enjoy clear construction methods and a clean
finished garment with subtle detail rather than decorative extras.
