Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

EvilPixie - this is the square shawl pattern I've got, it's quite old so there's no chart, it's all written instructions.

This is the round shawl version - much easier as it's knitted all in one piece. The pattern knits it flat then sews up a single seam, but I've found it's even easier to knit it in the round.

It reminds me of a shawl pattern my mum had and I did for my grandchildren I can see if I’ve got a copy somewhere.

jabberknit, I am almost certain that that is the shawl pattern my grandmother knitted for my brother when he was born. It was used by all three children and then we played with it with our dolls.

I've had this photocopy since the mid-1970s, Cyclops, taken from a copy of a booklet my Mum had. This particular Paton's pattern must have been produced around the late 60s/early 70s because it's a bit mixed between imperial and metric. The shawl patterns as knit are probably much older though, they're very traditional designs.

Happy to send anyone who wants one a copy.

I've probably got the original in the box of patterns that I acquired from Gt A Mary and my Nan - but it may take some time to shuffle through and dig it out

Cute knitting, Meglet - an interesting idea, getting your farmers to knit your transport systems!
