  4. Thank you very much for this pattern. I'm going to knit it in white, with the sleeves a bit shorter. I love the fitted and flared combination

  5. Any chance you could post the additional sizes included in the original pattern? I'd love to make this, but need it in a larger size.

    1. Hi Dart Lady, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately the original pattern from 1950 was only written in the one size. Sorry I can't help you.

  7. It's really cute. I, too, would need a larger size. I know how to make patterns larger in sewing, but I suppose one needs to know how to knit well enough to increase this pattern in size!
