Paris-Inspired Knitted Swing Coat, from Stitchcraft November 1953
Oh my, that hat!
Today’s free vintage knitting pattern comes from Stitchcraft, November 1953, and is such a great example of the swing coats from that time. I really love the extra detailing in green – it makes the pattern just a little bit more special than others in my collection.
To fit a 34-37 inch bust, and knit using double-knittting (DK) on 3.25mm and 3.75mm needles.

How does one make this larger? XL or 1X to be exact? All these vintage patterns are so small.

G Mos, right click on the pattern itself, then hit 'Open in new tab' pattern will then open in full size.
Has anyone actually knitted this design yet? I love it and am tempted to give it a go.

Love this! Are you by any change going to sell other patterns from this issue? I am (and some others I know) particularly interested to buy the harlequin jumper from the front of Stitchcraft nov 1953.
