vintage ladies cardigan double knitting wool 1930s

*Robin 37L: Great ladies vintage cardigan knitting pattern 1930s. This design has a lovely collar - this style was to reoccur in the 1950s. The crisp cables and low buttoned front are so stylish. The ply is not given, but by the size of needles imperial 9 and 6 (3.75 and 5mm)and the design I would suggest using a thick double knitting or aran weight in a tension square changeing needles to get the correct tension.Strangely enough there is no tension guide or size on this early pattern. I would guess at a meduim size - so do a tension square in your chosen wool and change needles until you get the size you want!

vintage blousette knitting pattern 1940s wartime

*Sentinel 152: Blousette: Great vintage ladies blouse knitting pattern 1940s. These blousettes or fronts were very popular to wear with suits in the austerity years during and following the war. You did not have to knit back or sleeves, so saved money and if you kept your jacket on no one was the wiser - no central heating on trains, buses or offices in those days, let alone homes! Length adjustable, no bust size needed as it is only a front! I have an original front like this in my collection of ladies clothing from the first half of the 20th Century knitted in silk. I have more of these patterns I just need to find them - they really are useful and great at reinactment meeting or stage productions
