I know I’ve been a little 1940s-heavy with the Curvy Month Patterns, but I just can’t help loving that era so much.
This cardigan from Weldons has a great diagonal stitch pattern thats really just a variation on a rib stitch. I believe this pattern is from the mid-late 1940s due to the military shoulders in the pattern and lack of ‘puff’. And her hair is just fabulous!
A variation is included for a round neck as well.
Sized to fit a 40-42 inch bust, on fingering weight yarn.

It is a really easy pattern repeat to knit and the result is stunning, the diagonals are very becoming on a curvy figure.
