Typical of the 1940s style of women’s sweaters, this cardigan is stylish, detailed, and practical. The long-sleeve sweater has a shawl collar, a button-up front, and is knit in a modified basket weave stitch.

This pattern comes from our currently out-of-print pattern, 235 Sporty Forties Dress and Sweater.

Perfect for intermediate to advanced knitters.
