1940s Spencer Thermal Vest Knitting Pattern | Bust 38-40

With a choice of two different Spencer vests, this 1940s knitting pattern offers both a quick sleeveless design and a short-sleeved version, making it easy to choose the style that best suits your wardrobe or the season. Both are simple, practical garments intended to provide an extra layer of warmth without adding unnecessary bulk.

The sleeveless Spencer is worked in 2-ply yarn, while the short-sleeved version is knitted in a slightly heavier 3-ply yarn. A small amount of crochet is used to finish the edges.

The Quick Sleeveless Spencer measures approximately 32 inches around the underarms and is designed to fit a 38–40 inch bust. The Short-Sleeved Spencer is designed to fit a 40-inch bust.
