I can’t get over how amazing this cardigan-jacket is!
Seahorses!
Seahorses with sequin bubbles coming out of their mouths!
I would wear this everyday until it fell apart. The details are fabulous:
– wavy edge trim
– strong 1940’s shoulders
– nipped waist
The lovely cover model is Donna Reed, and I love their colour combination of pale pink with green felt seahorses.
Australian Home Budget was very similar to Women’s Weekly and this pattern is from May 1948.
To Fit: 34 and 36 inch busts
Yarn: Astor Duchess (fingering weight cotton)
Needles: 3.25mm or 3.75mm

Sadly I cannot knit but I can cut felt and stick it on a cardi!

November 13, 2015 at 2:14 pmOMG I wish I could knit! Seahorses with sequin bubbles, amazing. Hmmm…perhaps I can sew something like it in a sweater knit? This is so incredible, and I thought that looked like Donna Reed, love her. Thanks so much for sharing.
