This pattern is for a Ladies’ or Men’s Pullover (with or without sleeves) in a vintage pattern book of knitting patterns for the Canadian Armed Forces, published sometime in the 1940s.

The sizes given are “36” and “40”, which seems to mean the measurement of the finished garment at the underarm (36” or 40”). The length from shoulder to finished edge is 23.5” for the sleeveless version, and 21” for the sweater. The sleeve length along the underarm seam is 21 inches for the sweater.
