Blouse styles have not changed dramatically in the past few decades, but every era has a little something that makes its blouses different. 1940s blouses are easily identified from their tailored collars, button up fronts, and puff sleeves. Blouses were always worn tucked into skirts or pants with a bit of blousing left out to

One of our best selling patterns, The Jan Sweater is a wonderfully simple design incorporating a simple lace pattern with slightly blouson shaping, short sleeves and a boat neck. Dressed up or dressed down, this sweater fits perfectly into vintage and non-vintage wardrobes alike and is a great introduction to sweater and/or lace knitting for someone wanting to build their knitting skills. The Jan Sweater is a very typical 1930s design: the garment is designed to be worn with the ribbed welt sitting on the wearer’s waist, with a slightly blouson lower body created by increases being worked across the row directly above the welt. Minimal decreases at the armholes and sleeve heads are the only other shaping, making this a very simple knit. The sweater is knitted in flat pieces from the bottom up and then sewn together. The Jan Sweater is knitted using Susan Crawford Excelana North fingering weight a soft, fingering weight 100% British wool, spun for us in nearby Yorkshire and dyed in-house by Susan and her team. Shown here in shade Powdered Egg but looks fabulous in any of Excelana’s stunning colours. Once you’ve knitted one you won’t want to stop! Our model Lola is shown wearing the first size to fit 76-81cm (30-32in) chest. The pattern includes instructions for eight sizes to fit chest measurements between 76cm (30in) and 157cm (62in) and contains both clear written pattern directions, together with charted instructions for the all-over lace pattern plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.

So entstand ein klassisches und stilvolles Vintage-Kleidungsstück. Dieser Schal hält Ihren Hals schön kuschelig warm und weht auch nicht weg. Er liegt gut an und ist auch unter dem Namen Ascot Schal, Durchziehschal oder Schlüssellochschal bekannt. Verarbeitet habe ich ein wundervoll weiches Garn (50% Schurwolle, 50% Acryl) in einem hellen Grauton. Ein Ascot-Schal hat an beiden Enden eine schmale Spitze, die in der Mitte des Schals durch eine Öffnung oder einen Schlitz gezogen wird. Dadurch entsteht eine Art Schlaufe, die um den Hals gelegt und dann durch die Spitzen des Schals gesteckt wird. Der Stil des Ascot-Schals ist elegant und formell und wird oft zu besonderen Anlässen wie Hochzeiten, Bällen oder anderen formellen Veranstaltungen getragen.

Three great summer jumpers made in double knit on large needles so they'll work up quickly ready to strut your stuff in the sun If you need this larger than 38" (which will be quite form fitting) you can simply add more stitches to the centre or at the sides Language Note – This 1940s and 50s pattern company used an image that many today find offensive and used a word that was used as a racist slur. I have edited them from the pattern by placing my logo over the image and changing the G-word with the name of the company. The original pattern was a product of its time; however, although the word is not being used in a racially hateful way, it allowed prejudices to continue. By editing the word I hope that I am not suggesting that these prejudices never existed, merely that they are not acceptable today (nor were they in the past) - check out my blog for more info on this https://prettyoldpatterns.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-power-of-words.html Measurements: Bust 34" to 38" 86 to 97cm; length 20.5" 52cm Date: estimated late 1940s or early 1950s Materials: double knit or light worsted; 5.5mm US 8 Original worked in 8 ozs Double Knitting Wool Tension: 4.5 stitches to 1 inch using 5.5mm US 8 needles over stocking stitch 5 Pages Please note that you are buying a digital copy, not the original nor the finished item Included with the pattern are some tips about needle conversions and tension (gauge) This pattern is now out of copyright and in the public domain - however this version remains copyright to me and carries a faint watermark After buying the pattern you'll have a link to the Downloads page in your account.
