1950s Summer Jacket Crochet Pattern – Ribbon or DK, Bust 34–36

This 1950s crochet pattern is for a simple summer jacket that can be made in either ribbon yarn or double knitting wool.

The straightforward construction and heavier yarn make this a relatively quick vintage crochet project.

The original pattern calls for 18 cards, each containing 50 yards, of ‘Ribbonknit’, or approximately 12 oz (340 g) of DK wool. An Aero wool crochet hook size 3 is required, together with two buttons and one press fastener.

The jacket is designed to fit a 34–36 inch bust and measures approximately 23 inches from the shoulder.

To fit bust: 34–36 inches. Length: 23 inches.
