Free Pattern: 1957 Harlequin Sweater

I have another free vintage knitting pattern from my stack of vintage magazines. This one is for a fabulous 1957 harlequin sweater. I hope to make this one for myself but I really can't settle on a color combination!

 This sweater was on the cover of McCalls Needlework for fall-winter 1957-58. It really is a show stopper. This pattern involves knitting with a color chart and doing a little embroidery for the hearts.

I've never used a chart before but this looks like a good pattern to start with since the design is very simple and only uses one color.  This pattern fits a blocked size of 34-38 inch bust but if you need help resizing this pattern, check the vintage knitting resources at the bottom of this post.

I hope you enjoy this month's pattern. Check my free patterns page for my past patterns and follow along on Instagram for updates on new monthly freebies.
