1940s Embroidered Sweater Knitting Pattern – Vintage Short Sleeve Fair Isle Style (32–33” Bust)

This 1940s knitting pattern creates a short sleeve sweater with a delicate embroidered
detail that gives the look of Fair Isle, without the complexity of colour work. It’s an easy
way to achieve that classic vintage style with a much simpler, more relaxed knit.

The design is light and comfortable, making it ideal for layering or wearing in warmer
weather. It’s worked in 3-ply or fingering yarn, with the option to use 4-ply if you adjust
the tension.

Designed to fit a 32–33 inch bust, the finished sweater has a neat, flattering shape that
captures the simple look of 1940s knitwear.
