From pattern description:
“Loose-fitting, cropped, lace patterned cardigan with set-in short sleeves, round neck, reverse-stockinette edges and crocheted buttons.”

From Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 1995:

“A romantic reinterpretation of the bed jacket fashionably in keeping with the season’s fascination with lingerie looks. Wendy Sacks’ tour-de-force lace cardigan uses very fine Mondial Marea 5 Cotton yarn in a one-of-a-kind filigree design for day or evening.”
