This early 1940s Fair Isle waistcoat blouse is a beautifully detailed vintage knit, originally
worked in Patons Fair Isle fingering yarn for that classic, finely textured finish. Using No.
9 and No. 11 needles, it would translate to a 3 or 4 ply yarn in modern terms, making it
easy to recreate with today’s materials while keeping the authentic look.
With 11 pages of instructions, it’s a more involved project that really lets you enjoy the
process, ideal if you appreciate traditional techniques and intricate Fair Isle pattern work.
The finished piece has that timeless, tailored feel that sits perfectly between a blouse
and a sweater vest.
Designed to fit a 35 inch bust, it’s a lovely choice for anyone drawn to true 1940s style.
