1942 Wartime Knitted Blouse Pattern – Moss Stitch & Trellis Design

This lovely 1942 wartime knitting pattern features a beautifully fitted blouse with gently puffed short sleeves, a neat collar and a row of buttons down the front. The combination of moss stitch and a pretty trellis pattern gives the blouse its texture, making it a particularly attractive example of 1940s knitwear.

Originally knitted in Patons Fingering 3-ply yarn, which may be comparable to some modern 4-ply yarns, the pattern uses old UK size 9 and 10 needles. The required tension is 7½ stitches to the inch, so it’s worth knitting a tension square before starting to make sure your chosen yarn gives the correct result.

The pattern is designed to fit a 32–34 inch bust.
