Curvy Month Pattern 3: A Preview of Spring, c. 1939
I know how much everyone loves 1930’s knitting patterns, but it can be a bit of search to find them in a larger size. I was really entranced with this stunning dress pattern in Knitting and Home Crafts (March 1939) and then I noticed it was curvy sized!
The blouse and skirt are knit in two pieces and seamed at the waist to make a dress – meaning it would be a cinch to turn the blouse portion into a sweater/jumper by just adding a couple of inches of rib at the bottom.
The blouse has a cross over neckline, and is knitted in a drop-stitch pattern making it light and airy.
I hope you like it!
Finished size: Bust 39″, Waist 32″ and Hip 40.5″
Yarn: Fingering weight wool crepe
Needles: 2.75mm

Fabulous! The older I get, the more I want an all knit dress or skirt and top/sweater combo. Something like would fit the bill wonderfully (alas, I'm a not a knitter – but it's great to have the image and inspiration when shopping).
Have a wonderful weekend!
