Vintage 1950s Scoop Neck Sweater Knitting Pattern

This elegant 1950s sweater knitting pattern combines a flattering fitted shape with thoughtful
details that make it stand out. The classic scoop neckline is accented with decorative buttons,
echoed on the sleeve bands for a polished finishing touch. Worked in an attractive basket stitch
pattern with a deep ribbed waistband, the design creates lovely texture while highlighting the
neat silhouette that was so popular during the decade.

Originally knitted in Patons Nylox, a blend of wool and synthetic fibres, the pattern uses 4-pl
y yarn and No. 11 and No. 12 knitting needles. The basket stitch fabric has a rich textured
appearance, with a tension approximately equivalent to 8 stitches and 10 rows per inch
worked in stocking stitch on No. 11 needles.

Designed to fit bust sizes 33–34 inches or 35–36 inches, this is a wonderful project for knitters
who appreciate authentic vintage fashions. The finished sweater pairs beautifully with skirts
or trousers and has a timeless look that feels just as wearable today as it did in the 1950s.
