1930s Lacy Summer Jumper Knitting Pattern | Vintage Ladies Lace Sweater

There’s something wonderfully understated about this 1937 jumper. The original magazine described it as “A Lacy Stitch But No Fussiness!”, and that sums it up perfectly. Rather than relying on elaborate trims, the beauty of this design comes from the elegant all-over lace stitch, complemented by neat ribbed borders and a distinctive three-part collar.

Designed with a gently fitted waist, this graceful jumper can be knitted with either short or long sleeves, making it a versatile addition to any vintage wardrobe. Originally worked in 2-ply super-fingering wool, the pattern uses 3.25mm (UK No.10) and 2.25mm (UK No.13) knitting needles and is written for a 32-inch (81cm) bust. The finished garment measures approximately 18 inches (46cm) in length, with an 11½-inch (29cm) side seam and a 6-inch (15cm) sleeve seam. The original tension is 16 stitches over one pattern repeat measuring 1¾ inches (4.5cm) after light pressing.

A beautiful example of late 1930s knitwear, this elegant lace jumper is perfect for anyone who appreciates authentic vintage designs and timeless style.
