1930s Knitted Ladies Suit Pattern in Bouclé Yarn – Jacket and Skirt

This classic knitted suit is worked in a textured yarn called PATONA, which, judging by the needle
size used, closely resembles a bouclé double-knit yarn. The fabric gives the suit its soft structure
and distinctive surface, perfectly suited to the tailored lines of the design.

The jacket is knitted using 19 oz (540 g) of PATONA or an equivalent double-knit bouclé yarn,
worked on No. 8 needles. The finished jacket measures 32 inches from the top of the shoulder,
with a comfortable 39-inch width at the underarm. Sleeves are a practical 17 inches long from
the underarm, giving a balanced, wearable fit.

The matching skirt requires 11 oz (315 g) of PATONA, again worked on No. 8 needles. The skirt
measures 28 inches in length, with a 39-inch hip width, creating a clean, straight silhouette
that complements the jacket perfectly.

Together, the jacket and skirt form a smart, coordinated suit that combines structure with
texture, ideal for recreating an authentic period look using modern yarn substitutes.
