Pattern description from The Best of Interweave Knits: “Wear this romantic jacket over your nightie when you curl up with a cup of tea or wear it over the accompanying shell when you go out for a special occasion. Either way, the drawstring back provides a shapely silhouette with just a tug of the cord. The main lace stitch is one of the many variations of the ever-popular Old Shale pattern - and is surprising simple to knit. The matching shell is gently shaped at the sides for a flattering fit. If you prefer a straight shape, simple omit the side-seam shaping.”
