1940s Ladies’ Cami-knickers Knitting Pattern | Bust 34

A one-piece pair of cami-knickers was a practical addition to many 1940s wardrobes, combining a camisole and knickers into a single garment with a smooth, streamlined fit. This pattern is worked mainly in stocking stitch, with simple crochet edging providing a neat finish around the neckline and leg openings.

The original instructions specify knitting silk, although a fine cotton or 3-ply yarn would also be suitable if you prefer a modern alternative with a similar weight and appearance.

Designed to fit a 34-inch bust, the finished garment measures approximately 28 inches along the side seam.

The original pattern calls for approximately 142g (5 oz) of knitting silk, a pair of 3.25 mm (UK No.10) and 2.75 mm (UK No.12) knitting needles, a medium crochet hook, four small buttons, and ribbon for the shoulder straps.

The original tension is 7 stitches to 1 inch.
