Sorry, I am not of any help with finding the pattern, just wanted to say how pretty your shawl is.

Jane2 here (Janey on knitting blogs)

I've never seen a shawl like this. It looks like a waistband was made and then attached to the top I've made shawls (starting at the top and working toward the bottom) and think this might be how it was done. I did a google on the subjet and there are hundreds of sites out thee but didn't see anything like this at all if you find it let us know.

This site looks interesting but time consuming maybe it is on here

Here is a link that might be useful: crocheted shawls - Google Search

Thanks for your help...I know mother has it somewhere at her house, but where is the problem...:) she crocheted it for me in the mid or late 70's...

Shielda, this is a beautiful shawl. If you ever do come across the pattern, I would love to have a copy.
