Ribbing and Lace Twin Set

This is a vintage knitting pattern for a gorgeous twin set with wide ribbing along the bodice, and a lace pattern across the yoke. This unique combination of textures would be both comfortable to wear and enjoyable to knit with lots of variety and interest. The pattern is taken from the Lincoln Knitting Book No. 675 ‘Styles for Out of Doors’. This book is from the 1940s and featured a variety of women’s knitting patterns which were practical for cooler weather wear. 

This pattern is to fit a 34-36 inch bust.
