Vintage 1940s Cardigan Knitting Pattern – Retro Short Sleeve Women’s Sweater – Jumper, 4 Sizes

Meet a true timeless classic. This short-sleeved jumper-cardigan is one of those wonderfully
versatile pieces you’ll reach for again and again. Effortlessly stylish, it pairs beautifully with
tailored trousers for a polished look, or with a flared skirt for something a little more playful,
making it perfect for almost any occasion.

Originally knitted in Dritz Luxury Floss, a fingering weight (4-ply) yarn, the design uses US
No. 3 (3.25 mm) and US No. 5 (3.75 mm) needles. Depending on the size you choose, you’ll
need approximately 7–9 one-ounce balls of yarn.

The pattern is designed to fit four bust sizes: 32, 34, 36, and 38 inches. Additional sizing and
measurement details can be found in the second image in the listing.

Gauge (tension):
Using US No. 5 (3.75 mm) needles — 6 stitches and 8½ rows = 1 inch.
