Short Bed Jacket Pattern in Crocheted Lace

Nancy C-315: This pattern contains directions to crochet the jacket pictured. This design is classically called a bed jacket. This particular design, worked in 3-ply Crochet Wool, is above waist in length with a lacy ruffled body and short sleeves with wide ruffled ends and a large collar. The front and back yoke are in a more solid pattern stitch. The pattern, sized for medium sized misses (14 - 16), has a front bow ribbon closure that matches up to smaller ribbon decorative ties on the sleeves. The pattern comes to us from Coats and Clarks, vintage 1950s.
