1940s Datemaker Cardigan - Petrol

A fantastic cardigan heavily inspired by the 'Datemaker' style very popular in the early and mid 1940s. Based on a knitwear pattern from the 1940s, you cant get more wartime 1940s than this beauty!

This lovely cardigan is the perfect partner for vintage style separates and dresses alike.

Style creates that classic 1940s silhouette with strong squared shoulders and nips in at the waist with adjustable slide belt. Cardigan style is open at the front with rounded neckline. Stitch is a simple wide rib on sleeves and main body with a finer stitch on shoulders which creates a yoke effect. Stitch creates an attractive twist effect on sleeves.

Belt feeds through a bakerlite style buckle at front - requires belt to loop back to secure.
