Featuring delicate lace stripes worked in alternating needle sizes and a soft, harmonious colour
palette, this pattern creates a beautifully textured and feminine garment that’s perfect for vintage
fashion lovers and knitters alike.
Designed to fit a 34-inch bust (measured around the underarms), this classic sweater is

- 1 oz Pink
- 1 oz Dark Pink
- 1 oz Rose
- 1 oz Fuchsia
To achieve the authentic look and texture, this pattern uses pairs of needles in UK sizes
No. 10, 11, and 12 (a helpful needle conversion chart for US and modern sizes is included).

timeless knitwear styles, this pattern offers a rewarding knit with beautiful results. Perfect
for adding a nostalgic touch to your handmade wardrobe or gifting to fellow vintage
enthusiasts.
