1940s Button-Up Cardigan Jacket Knitting Pattern – Basket Stitch Sweater

Price range: £3.99 through £5.99

This trim little button-up jacket is one of those pieces you’ll reach for again and again. Knitted in
a bold basket stitch, it has great texture without feeling heavy, and the fit is beautifully flattering.
Wear it over a dress like a neat cardigan, or button it up and style it as a sweater with a skirt, it
easily does both. The edges are finished with a clean double crochet detail that gives it a polished,
handmade look without fuss.

The original version was worked in Patons Beehive Fingering 3-ply, a light yarn with lovely stitch
definition. You’ll need around 9oz (256g) in total, along with 3.25mm needles (old UK No. 10),
seven button moulds, and a medium crochet hook to finish it off. Designed to fit a 32–33 inch
bust, this is a satisfying knit that delivers a timeless wardrobe staple with just enough detail
to keep things interesting.
