Curvy Month Pattern: White Wings Jumper, c. 1930s

Welcome to the final pattern of Curvy Month – I hope you enjoyed the larger size patterns. I’m back to knitting, sewing and vintage from next week!
I’m sure we all love an easy knit, and this jumper pattern from Paton and Baldwin’s Style No. 7 is rib-tastic.
Rib is the all round, easy to knit and flattering stitch – perfect for those larger figures.
This design has such a jaunty air, I’m seeing it in a very patriotic white, blue and red – but any three complimentary colours would work well. It has a cute pocket on the chest, puffed sleeves and a little sailor collar.
To fit a 34 and 38 inch bust, knitted on fingering weight yarn using 3.75mm and 2.75mm needles.

Oooo, I like this!

I absolutely adore this design — thank you so much for sharing! I’m wondering if there is a section missing from the pattern? There are no instructions for the cute little pocket, or how to put all the different pieces — and all the weirdly separate borders — together… Or maybe everone was expected to know these things in the 30s, and I’m just too used to the modern hand-holding patterns? Definitely want to knit this one! <3
