1940s Vintage Knit Housecoat Pattern, Easy Women’s Robe, 3 Ply Dressing Gown

Price range: £3.99 through £6.99

Meet a housecoat that brings a bit of personality to your everyday routine. It’s eye-catching
without trying too hard, and one you’ll likely reach for first thing in the morning. The texture
has a subtle twist too—worked in stocking stitch but with the purl side facing out for a softer,
more relaxed look.

The skirt is knitted sideways on larger needles, which keeps things straightforward and moves
the project along at a satisfying pace. If you’d rather keep it understated, it works just as well
in two colours instead of five.

The design uses 3-ply yarn on 4.5mm needles, with about 625g in total. It fastens with press-
studs or hooks and eyes, and a petersham ribbon ties at the waist. You’ll also need a crochet
hook for finishing.

It’s sized to fit a 32–38 inch bust, with an 18-inch sleeve seam and a 54-inch length for an easy,
full drape. The gauge is 6 stitches per inch on 4.5mm needles, giving a light but structured fabric.

A straightforward knit with a bit of visual interest, and something you’ll actually enjoy wearing.
