While going through my vintage knitting patterns, looking for a shawl pattern similar to the green frilled shrug Kate Middleton wore grocery shopping, I ran across this beauty. I guess I could say that it’s a 1950s version of Kate’s shawl. I love how the model is depicted wearing this over her bathing suit at the beach! Yup, just the place I would want to wear a warm stole. 😉 Anyway, who knows? Maybe Kate is wearing a shawl at the beach on her honeymoon?
This pattern calls for all-purpose yarn, and is 28″ wide by 72″ long. The knitting directions look relatively easy, and it gives detailed instructions for making the attached fringe. It also gives instructions for those who are tall and wish to make the stole a little longer.
So happy vintage knitting, readers! Let me know how it turns out if you decide to make it. And pictures, please. 🙂
