Description

This is a vintage halter top that looks just like it could be in the stores today! It's a timeless design with a beautiful matching wrap. It's hard to find these things in the store, 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 New Lux, 1952 Edition. 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 VINTAGE Women's size 12, 14 and 16. Sizing is according to this chart from the original pattern book:

Size 12 14 16
Bust 30” 32” 34”
Waist 25” 26 ½” 28”
Hip 33” 35” 37”

If you are crafty, you can adjust the pattern to fit larger sizes by using thicker yarn and larger needles or by increasing stitch count.
