Va-Voom!
Popped collar and a nipped in waist – all in a vibrant red!
This vampy design from Sirdar is sized for a 32-38 inch bust, and best of all is knitted in DK-weight yarn.
Check out the darted shaping they’ve used for the ultimate fit.
- To fit: 32, 34, 36 and 36″bust
- Yarn: DK

LOVE it! especially the collar. Definitely going in my queue.

Ooh, nice! I think this one might have to be my next make. God knows I need more long sleeves!

Thanks for making this pattern freely available! Can't wait to cast on, although given the fit I should probably do a swatch or two first…

I have made this pattern twice now both times in Aran Yarn. They look fabulous and it was easy to convert. Many thanks for posting. I am going to try a couple of the others you have posted!

I knit this pattern six years ago from recycled yarn, and it’s wearing thin after a great deal of wear. I tried a modern pattern but found it unendurably boxy (I am not the same circumference everywhere, nor do I wish to appear so). I figured I’d go back to what I already know works!
I’ve cast on for my second one of these, going up a size. Fortunately I remembered from last time that the “bust” measurement is at the underarm, not the full bust.
