Glenridge Block Pattern Blouse
Feb. 3rd, 2025 06:33 pmI finally got my daughter to take pictures of a 1940's sweater I finished last year.

It's the Glenridge block pattern blouse pattern from Wearing History (https://www.etsy.com/listing/797533670/1940s-glenridge-block-pattern-blouse). I added a little below the waist but otherwise knit it as given.
Here's the Ravelry page. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/MCBurbage/1940s-block-pattern-blouse
I set one of the sleeves badly originally so I didn't want to take pictures at that point. Then it took me months to get around to pulling it out and resetting it properly.
The pattern didn't call for shoulder pads, but it would probably look more like the pattern image if I had put some in. I think it's okay as is, but if I were really going for 1940's, I'd do that.
