    Thank you for the Crocheted Shawl pattern. I was given two shawls several years ago, that must be like this pattern. One was red and the other an ivory color. They had been in a cedar chest about 30 years, and were given to me to pass to my Mother-in-law, who had gone to live in an Assisted Living environment. She loved them and when I saw she was wearing one even through the summer months, I decided I would start crocheting again and make her some different colors.

    I made four shawls in different colors and patterns because I'd been unable to find a pattern with shell double crochets in it. She still chose to wear the old ones! I believe with her now being "91 years young", those are her "security blanket" shawls!
