Jane Russell Palm Beach Sweater Knitting Pattern 34-36" Bust

Bring a Touch of Hollywood Glamour to Your Knitting

I just love Jane Russell, ever since seeing her star opposite Marilyn Munroe in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'.   Even as she aged she was still as sharp, sassy and stylish as when she was in her heyday.  This cute summer tee is inspired by the timeless elegance of screen icon Jane Russell, capturing the carefree spirit of tropical holidays and 1940s fashion. Featuring charming colourwork palm trees worked in rich brown and leafy green against a radiant sun-gold yellow background, this sweater is a true celebration of sunshine and chic style of Palm Beach.

Originally promoted as the Palm Beach Sweater, this eye-catching design combines classic shaping with playful tropical motifs, making it a standout addition to any vintage knitting collection. The flattering fitted silhouette, short sleeves, and distinctive colourwork evoke the glamour of 1940s/1950s resort wear while remaining wonderfully wearable today.

Whether you're recreating an authentic vintage wardrobe or simply looking for a unique knitting project to wear on your summer vacation, this delightful sweater offers the perfect blend of retro charm and tropical elegance.
