This pattern is available from lovecrafts.com for $6.00.

The long lean lines combined with a little waist shaping create a flattering fit that will look great with anything you want to pair it with.
Begin with 20 rows of a simple lace pattern, then work in stockinette with placed garter stitches to the shoulder. Divide the fronts and back at the armholes, then work each section separately to the shoulders. A little bit of garter edges the fronts, neck and armholes. Finish it off with a simple button, or for a more dramatic look, use a special vintage button.
