1930s Basket Weave Sweater Blouse Knitting Pattern – Bow Neck

This 1938 sweater blouse knitting pattern is worked in a raised basket-weave stitch, with a soft bow threaded through small eyelets at the neckline.

The textured stitch is intended to remain raised and should not be pressed after knitting, as pressing would flatten the basket-weave effect.

Originally knitted in Patons Super or Beehive Scotch Fingering 2-ply, the sweater requires approximately 4½ oz (130 g) of yarn and is worked on No. 10 and No. 12 knitting needles.

The stated tension is 7½ stitches to one inch measured over the pattern.

To fit bust: 34 inches.
