1940s Patriotic Tri-Color Blouse Knitting Pattern- Bust 32"-36"

This E-pattern is for a darling knitted blouse from the WWII era. This 1940s pattern features a ribbed blouse that buttons up the front, has short sleeves, and great color band accents! Why not make it up in red, white, and blue, like our wartime sisters would have done? Of course the color possibilites are endless... green, mustard, and orange would be a great vintage color way- as would burgandy, mauve, and white. So many options for this cute blouse!
This blouse pattern includes instructions for three vintage sizes, including 14, 16, and 18 which translates to a 32, 34, or 36 inch bust.
