• This sweet bed jacket pattern was first published in the early 1940s and is knitted in an all-over lace stitch and has the added detail of gathers worked below the upper body yoke. Wide, graceful puff sleeves add further sophistication to this delightful jacket. Decorative crochet edgings and a ribbon fastening finish off this lovely garment.

  The Lacy Bed Jacket is knitted in separate flat pieces and then sewn together.

  Lacy Bed Jacket is knitted using Susan Crawford Bluem Sock, a soft and smooth yarn, perfect for this elegant project. We have used shade Red Sky At Night, hand-dyed in-house by Susan and her team.

  Our model Fleur is shown wearing the sixth size to fir chest 132-137cm (52-54in).

  The pattern includes instructions for six sizes to fit chest measurements between 76cm (30in) and 137cm (54in) and contains clear written instructions plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.
