Not quite sure if this is what you were looking for, but the site vintage purls offers quite a few old patterns, all free! There's a pattern for a bed jacket on there. There's also this one out there for free which is a bolero style one, more like what you said you were looking for http://www.plainsimpleinformation.com/GoodHumourBJ.pdf.
