Curvy Month Pattern 2: Starring Stripes cardigan c. mid 1940s

Today’s free vintage knitting pattern is described “Here’s a bright new jacket in a simple stitch to make and wear over plain jumpers and blouses – and it’s a grand design for using up those odd ounces of wool.”

And they’re totally right – this three colour cardigan would be perfect for using up any random skeins you might have, and is a great WWII economy design.
