Curvy Month 6: Doreen Arrowstitch Cardigan

I’m always so excited to share patterns in sizes greater than 44″ – they really are the unicorns, but they’re definitely out there! Doreen is late 1940s, maybe early 1950s and features a really interesting arrowstitch lace pattern.

  • Needles: UK 9 and 12, metric 3.75mm and 2.75mm

  • Tension: 13.5 sts to 2 inches in plain knitting

    I love a big girl cardi pattern. And especially when they are V necks which fit so much more nicely over shirts/shirtwaist dresses.
    Thank you and well done on your archaeology.
