1940s Balloon Sleeve Jumper Knitting Pattern

This beautiful 1940s long sleeve blouse captures the elegance and practicality of true vintage
knitwear. The main body is knitted, with charming crochet detailing at the collar, cuffs, and
button covers, giving the design that unmistakable 1940s hand-finished look.

The blouse is worked in 2-ply yarn using No. 10 knitting needles, with a crochet hook used for
the decorative trims. While the original pattern does not state the hook size, it is likely suited
to a medium fit. If preferred, you may also be able to substitute 3-ply yarn, though it’s
recommended to check your tension before starting.

Sizing can be adjusted easily. The larger fit is achieved simply by changing the needle size,
making this a flexible pattern for different body shapes.

The design is written to fit 32–34 inch and 36 inch bust measurements, typical of authentic
1940s patterns.

Tension: 8 stitches and 10 rows to 1 inch.
