Curvy Month 10: In Knitting and Crochet, c. 1920s
Today’s the last pattern for Curvy Month 2022 and I’m stepping way back to an era I don’t often collect – the 1920s.
This jumper-tabard is a combination of plain knitted panels and crochet trim, and is one size for up to 38″ bust.
It would be really easy to expand from it’s current sizing though as the schematic is provided. (Add some extra stitches in the knitted panels, and a an extra repeat around the hem = enlarged!).
It’s not enough I find 1920s patterns for a 38″ bust, so I hope you like it!
- To fit: 34-38″ bust, however finished bust measurement is 49″ and hip 38″.
- Yarn: fingering weight. Pattern suggests silk, or wool with angora trim.
- Needles/Hooks: UK 10, steel size1.
- Published: Leach’s Sixpenny Knitting Series 57 (likely 1924-ish).
