1950s Fine Cotton Evening Sweater Knitting Pattern – Bust 32–38

This vintage knitting pattern is for a fine-knit sweater designed for summer or evening wear.

Originally knitted in Twilleys Lyscordet crochet cotton on old UK No. 14 needles, the fine yarn and small needles produce a close, lightweight knitted fabric.

The pattern requires approximately 6 oz (170 g) of yarn for the smaller size and 8 oz (227 g) for the larger size.

The stated tension is 9 stitches and 13 rows to one inch.

Two size ranges are included, to fit bust measurements of 32–34 and 36–38 inches.

As the original crochet cotton is vintage, choose a modern substitute by matching the stated tension rather than relying on the original yarn name alone.

To fit bust: 32–38 inches.
