1940s Vintage Knitting Pattern – Moss Stitch and Rib Cardigan Jumper

This 1940s vintage jumper-cardigan knitting pattern is worked in a combination of moss stitch
and vertical ribbing, creating a textured and smart look. The ribbing runs vertically, while
horizontal moss-stitch bands break up the pattern for added style and structure. The front
button bands and collar are both worked in moss stitch, giving a neatly finished, classic
appearance. A truly lovely and timeless fashion knit.

Designed to fit a 34–36 inch bust, this pattern offers a flattering, fitted shape typical of 1940s
knitwear.
