Women's Short-Sleeved Jumper – Restored Vintage Knitting Pattern (1950s) Waist Ribbing Hourglass 33''-34'' 2-Ply A4 & US Letter PDF Instant Download– 138

A breathtaking example of post-war, mid-century tailoring at its most feminine — this vintage 1950s knitting pattern is designed to create a dramatic hourglass silhouette that feels as relevant and desirable today as it did when it was first published.

The defining feature of this jumper is its incredibly deep waist ribbing, which cinches the figure and creates that iconic mid-century hourglass shape. A deep V-neck neckline extends almost to the ribbing, adding a romantic, sensual elegance that is unmistakably 1950s. Set-in sleeves give a clean, tailored finish, and the body is worked predominantly in simple knit and purl stitches — making this a deeply satisfying knit despite its sophisticated result.

Knitting a full women's garment in 2-ply creates a fabric that feels like fine, lightweight modern boutique lace rather than heavy winter wool — delicate, drapey, and utterly luxurious to wear.
