1940s Pin-Up Bare Midriff top from Nina Wall

Description

This would be a lovely companion to high waisted swing pants or skirts, for the perfect 1940s summer look. The pattern comes from Nina Wall’s Book of Light Weight Knitting, 1946.

‘”Bare Midriff” is sweet! It’s easy to knit and that coy inch or two of skin becomes you. Yes, “Bare Midriff” is one of your knitting MUSTS!”

• Sizes of 32-34 inches and 34-36 inches given.
• When knitted in fingering weight cotton, the pattern calls for 3.25mm (UK 10) needles, when knitted in fingering weight wool it calls for 3.75mm needles (UK 9)

Please note all my patterns have a faint watermark.
