  My Shetland Shawl (Free Pattern)

I call this pattern mine because it's my signature piece. I have made so many, the pattern is permanently burned into my memory but I did not design it. It's been around for many years. These instructions were taken from a Monarch Knitting book from the early 1950's and it is considered a vintage pattern that is no longer under copyright.






*Please Note: The yarn specified in the pattern was sold in 25g/1oz balls and was a fingering or baby weight.
The size 6 needles were the old Canadian/British size. They convert to size 5mm/8US.

Simply lovely! You are right up there with my Aunt Mary--she was an artist with the thread and yarn as you are!
