Curvy Month Pattern – Penelope M1362 Bow-Neck Cardigan, c 1940s

Don’t let the model fool you, this cardigan is all about action!
I think all good cardigans have a bow on them somewhere, and a neck tie is perfection. The cardigan has panels of pattern down the chest, and matching panels down the sleeves – no boring stocking stitch for this book-loving matron!
Sized for a 38-40 inch bust, from the mid 1940s I believe. This one is on my To Knit list for sure.

Sorry, I just noticed there’s a linking error for the third page – it’s linking to page two! Thank you for sharing your stash of very cute vintage knitting patterns!

Hi Bex, I am looking for a particular knitting pattern, however, the instruction page 2 is unreadable (the scan is too small). Maybe you have time to fix it? It’s much appreciated – thanks for sharing all those lovely patterns!

Hi DOris!
I think it happened when I moved across to WordPress – i’ll try and find the Penelope pattern again to rescan. Thanks for letting me know.

Hello Bex!
I’m very interested in knitting this piece – it’s gorgeous and so sleek and front-foot-forward! – and unfortunately the second instruction page is still too small in framerate to read. Do you think you have tim to try and rescan it? Altenatively, do you know if it is available on the trove or somewhere else?
And thank you for sharing all these stunning knitting patterns!

Hi there friend! Unfortunately, when I move from my old hosting to my new hosting some image resolution issues happened on older patterns.
I’ve been trying to find this one in my collection for ages to re-scan but I’m not having much luck.
So yes, I will definitely re-scan it but I don’t have a timeline.
I don’t believe this would be on Trove as it’s from the UK, but you could try the UK knitting guild if you’re desperate and need it now
Regards, Bex
