Knitted Jacket Pattern with Tie Waist and Shell

Nob Hill : This pattern gives instructions for knitting the jacket and shell pictured. The pattern, vintage 1960's was originally billed as a suit, however, the directions are for a shell, worked in seed stitch, and a jacket. The jacket, a loose fitting design, features three-quarter sleeves, and an open front. The concept was that one would sew the skirt and then match the fabric with the facings on the jacket.
