Semi-Fitted Sweater Blouse Knitting Pattern

Misses Blouse : This pattern contains directions to knit the blouse pictured. This pattern design, vintage 1950s from American Thread, renders a a knitted blouse with three quarter length sleeves, a high round neckline and back zipper closure. Oh, let's not forget the textural pattern stitch. The length of the pattern is not stated, however, given the fashion of the times, I would guess upper hip length. The pattern is misses sized 12 to 18. Directions are written for size 12, with changes for 14, 16 and 18 shown in parentheses.   Note:  I've included a photo of a 1951 magazine advertisement for the blouse and thread.
