Curvy Month Pattern One: Knitted ArtDeco Blouse, c. 1936
Posted on
July 1, 2015
Welcome to Curvy Month – a whole month devoted to outsize (greater than 34″ bust) vintage knitting patterns.
After searching through my collection I’m ready to offer up another 10 stylish offerings that I hope you’ll enjoy.
Today’s knitting pattern comes from Vogue’s 4th Book of Knitting and Crochet circa 1936, called Blouse for Older Woman.
For a matronly design, I actually think this is quite stylish! I really like the wrap collar style, with side tie. This Vogue magazine is filled with great styles, I can’t wait to share more with you this year.
To fit: 38 inch bust
Needles: 2.25mm and 3mm
Yarn: Fingering weight.

Fabulous ideas! I just love that wrap sweater. I could see it working well on a ton of different body types. Thank you for sharing, lovely lady.

Ooo, I love the collar on that sweater. I wouldn't have called it matronly at all! I can't wait to see what other patterns you post.
