Boudoir Bedjacket.
Knitted in a combination of wools, ribbon, and a linen yarn, of various weights using the basic shape of a double knitting pattern. The length is short to allow for sitting in bed.
InstructionsKnitted to a basic shape as follows: Back - cast
on 88 sts. Knit in your own pattern for 7 or 8 inches. Right front
- cast on 36 sts. Knit to pattern increasing 1st at the beginning of every
alternate row until there are 44 sts. (This forms a curved front edge).
Left front - work to match the right front, reversing all shapings. Sleeves - cast on 56 sts and work for 2 inches, then increase 1 st at each end of next and every following 6th row to 76 sts. Work straight to 15 inches from beginning. Cast off. Crochet border - a simple row of double crochet and then a crochet shell pattern (1 dc; miss 2; 5 tr into next stitch; miss 2; then repeat). Make up - sew
shoulders and side seams. Set sleeves into the armholes, placing 2 ins
at the sleeve top to the cast off sts at the underarm, and sewing up the
sleeve seams. |
