Description

This sweater is for a man who knows where he's going and is going in style. What a great vintage button-up cardigan. Totally hipster mod styling. It's hard to find these things in the thrift shop, so just make one... you get the style you want, and you get to pick the color and size.

This listing is for the knitting pattern only. It is a .pdf file that I will email to you.

This pattern is originally from Spinnerin, Volume 167, published in 1964. This is no longer in circulation, so in order to make it available for more vintage loving knitters, I am transcribing the instructions exactly as written in the original pattern book and offering them here.

Directions are for sizes Small (36-38), Medium (40-42) and Large (44-46)
