Inspired by the sultry vixens of the 1940’s, this sweater seems demure and sophisticated in the front but the back is sure to knock your fella for a loop. The body is knit in one piece and has an open back design. The sleeves have a fitted forearm and puffed upper arm. Any gal wearing this number will be quite a dish!

Construction
The body is knit flat in one piece, from the bottom up, starting with a fitted waist and continuing into a loose fitting bust. At the underarms, the two pieces that form the back of the garment are knit separately and then bound off. The front continues up to the neck, where stitches are cast off in the middle of the piece, and the two sections on either side are worked separately to form the top part of the back. Sleeves are knit in the round the wrist to the cap.

Sizing
Choose an initial size closest to your actual waist measurement, choosing the smaller size if you are right in between sizes. At the bust increase section, choose a size closest to your actual bra cup, choosing the larger size if you are right in between sizes.
