1960s Polo Neck Sweater Dress Knitting Pattern – Long or 3/4 Sleeve (Bust 30–36”)

This 1960s sweater dress follows a clean, mod-inspired shape with the option to knit it as either
a full-length dress or a shorter sweater. The straight cut keeps it simple and wearable, while the
choice of long or three-quarter sleeves lets you adjust it depending on how you want to style it.

It was originally made using Patons TOTEM yarn, which aligns closely with modern 4-ply or DK
weights based on the recommended needle sizes. The pattern includes guidance for adjusting
needle sizes (8, 9, 10) depending on your knitting tension, making it easier to achieve the right
finish with current yarns.

Designed to fit 30, 33, and 36 inch busts, with a length from shoulder of 40 to 43 inches, this is
a straightforward project if you’re looking to recreate a 1960s silhouette in a way that still works
with modern materials and everyday wear.
