Vintage 1940s Mens V-Neck Cable Knit Sweater Knitting Pattern 36–38 Chest

This classic v-neck sweater features an attractive ribbed cable stitch that adds both texture
and extra warmth while still using lightweight 3-ply yarn. The clever stitch pattern gives the
garment a rich, traditional look while helping to trap warmth, making it both practical and
stylish. It’s a timeless design that works beautifully as everyday knitwear and will appeal to
anyone who enjoys authentic vintage style.

The sweater is knitted in 3-ply fingering yarn using No. 8 (4.0 mm) and No. 10 (3.25 mm)
needles. The recommended tension is 10 stitches to 1 inch on No. 8 (4.0 mm) needles
when measured un-stretched, helping to achieve the correct fit and structure for the
pattern.

Designed for a chest size of 36–38 inches, the finished sweater measures approximately
22½ inches from shoulder to lower edge, with a sleeve seam length of 21 inches. The
result is a neatly fitted garment with a comfortable v-neck and classic proportions that
capture the enduring appeal of vintage knitwear.
