{"product_id":"wwi-crochet-sleeveless-sweater-pattern","title":"WWI Crochet Sleeveless Sweater Pattern","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis pattern is based on an original crochet sleeveless sweater published in the December 1918 issue of Needlecraft magazine. Carefully recreated from the historic source, it has been rewritten in American crochet terminology so that it is easy to understand for modern crochet creators. This pattern was a practical garment used for warmth and created with the WWI soldier in mind, as the article was titled, \"For Our Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen\" and has patterns for the sweater and two hats. I included the whole article so that you can also recreate the hats if you choose to. It is made for a large\/extra large size, but the original pattern is made for a smaller size and includes directions on how to make changes to fit various sizes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike civilian fashion of the era, garments such as these were created with a singular purpose, utility. Designed to be worn as an additional insulating layer beneath a soldier’s uniform, the sleeveless construction allowed for unrestricted movement while providing essential warmth to the chest and core during periods of exposure to cold weather, trench conditions, and winter campaigning. This pattern is ideal for historical costuming, reenactment, museum interpretation, or vintage-inspired wardrobes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy ordering this pattern, you will be receiving a digital copy, not a physical copy and instructions will be provided as to assist you with printing the pattern, at home, making it quick and accessible (as well as affordable) for everyone.
