Trying to help someone on raverly repair an afghan the photographs are hers not mine that are in the white/ecru thread original is from about 1940 she said. The photo you see above was my only reference to make the pattern for her as she is in one state and I am in another. The one below I saw after I had made the pattern for her. Not to bad if I say so myself I hope it helps her.

I did popcorns in mine but you could use bobbles or puffs instead I think the original is bobbles.

Making a slight modification to the pattern instead of placing the sc around the treble crochet posts one row below as with row 4 going around post of the treble crochet on row three. Row four is going around treble crochet posts of row 2 and row 7 is going around the posts on line 5 and so on through out the pattern. I am hoping this will make the 3-D effect larger and more prominent and the fans more free to move.
Because I am using a much larger yarn I am also using a much larger hook; this should progress much faster.
If I was doing this with the same size thread as the other three snow queens I am working, because the shells/fans overlap more it would actually take more time and more yarn to do it that way. However, it would be very lovely that way; I may still do it, but I might want to do that in size 30 thread instead.
Because this is yellow wool I just could not bring myself to call this the yellow snow queen shawl; just too many bad images there. ;0)

Pattern was edited and updated December 21 to fix some errors in it
Use desired yarn or thread and hook to match yarn size. I would suggest lace weights or thread and yarns of that sort to make it airy.
Of course you can do yours in what ever color you like a long color shaded one would be lovely.I did mine in one color just to help you see stitches in the photos better. But I did the tutorial in different colors for each round so you could see the rounds better.
special stitches
- V stitch : (dc, ch 2, dc) in the same stitch or space
- sm shell: 3 treble crochet, ch 2, 3 treble crochet all in the same space when worked over previous small shell it is worked over the chain 2 space
- lg shell: 8 treble crochet all in the same space
- picot: ch 3 and sc into 1st chain
- go around front of post and go around back of post
Before starting work: There are times when you will be going around the post of a treble crochet to make your stitch. Doesn’t matter if you are working on the right side front or wrong side/back side of the work these stitches always go around from the back side. Which means sometimes you go around the front of a post and sometimes the back side of a post. Other wise your fans will face both front and back mine are always facing front you can do that (make them face both ways I might make a sample that way and add to this) but I do not think it would be as pretty when done. Mark your front/right side with the first or third row so you are aware of which side is front. After a while you will not need the marker but at first it is helpful.
Foundation Chain ch 13 turn work
- (front/right side)dc in 5th chain from hook (V stitch made), chain 4 skip 3 chains on foundation chain, small shell( this is your center back) in next chain,chain 4, V stitch in last chain of foundation chain. turn work (should have 2 V stitches and 1 small shell)
- (wrong/back side)slip stitch into V stitch, chain 4 counts as first treble of Lg shell finish large shell in this V stitch, chain 4, work sm shell over sm shell, chain 4, work lg shell in last V stitch, turn work (should have 2 lg shells, and 1 small shell)
- (front/right side) chain 7, sc in 3rd chain from hook (counts as first treble and first picot, treble,picot in every treble of large shell (should have 8 trebles and 8 picots) chain 4, sm shell over sm shell, chain 4, Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell, turn work ( should have 16 picots and small shell)
- (wrong/back side)slip stitch around first treble crochet post, chain 5, dc around same treble post ( first V stitch made), chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post this is around the front of the post (even thought these are going around the front of the post they are always on the back side or wrong side of the entire piece), *chain 3, sc around next treble post* 3 times,chain 4, V stitch over chain 4 space before sm shell on previous round, chain 4, sm shell over shell, chain 4, V stitch over chain 4 space after sm shell on previous round,chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post, *chain 3, sc around next treble post* 3 times,chain 4, V stitch around last treble post of previous round, turn work (should have 4 V stitches and 1 small shell)
- (front/right side) slip stitch into V stitch, chain 4 (counts as first treble of Lg shell) finish large shell in this V stitch, *chain 4, sc in ch 3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop)2 times chain 4, work lg shell next V stitch,* chain 4, sm shell over shell, chain 4, lg shell over V stitch space, chain 4,sc in ch 3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop)2 times chain 4, work lg shell over V stitch, repeat between stars , turn work (should have 4 lg shells, and 1 small shell)
- (back side) chain 7, sc in 3rd chain from hook (counts as first treble and first picot), treble,picot in every treble of large shell (should have 8 trebles and 8 picots) chain 4, sc in chain 3 space, ch 3, sc in next ch 3 space, chain 4,Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell,chain 4, sm shell over sm shell, chain 4, Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell, chain 4, sc in chain 3 space, ch 3 sc in next ch 3 space, chain 4,Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell, turn work (should have 32 picots and 1 small shell)
- (front/right side)slip stitch around first treble crochet post, chain 5, dc around same treble post (first V stitch made), *chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post around from the back of the post (remember these stitches that go around post are always done on the back side of the work even when working from the front), (chain 3, sc around next treble post) 3 times, chain 4, V stitch over chain 3 loop * repeat 1 more time between*last time have the v stitch over a chain 4space, chain 4, sm shell over shell, chain 4, V stitch over chain 4,**chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post, (chain 3, sc around next treble post) 3 times, chain 4, V stitch over chain3 **repeat 1 more time between**(in the repeat the last V stitch goes around the back post of the last treble crochet post..( should have 6 V stitches and 1 sm shell)
continue in established pattern to the length of shawl you want end on a round with picot edges. (ruffly repeat rounds 5 through 7 each time you repeat these rounds you will also be increase the number of shells by two please pay attention to the first seven rows and how they increase as beyond that you should have the pattern established in your head as it isn’t written)
I added a graph hope this helps those who don’t speak English. Sorry It is hand drawn and in two pieces.
If you would like the shells/fans to stand up more and have a great 3D effect I have made some modifications on a yellow wool shawls I am making and have posted those modifications here so you can do them too if you would like.
If you want to make a hair or neck scarf out of this use size 10 thread and a size 5 hook. When finished to desired length ( which for me was when I had completed 7 large rounds of shells). For the medium shawl using same size thread and hook as above make 14 large rounds. When I say large rounds I mean complete a repeat of the large shell all the way to the picot that is one complete large shell round. When I get the large shawl done I will post that as well for size 10 thread.I left it simple but you could put a picot edge across the front. Then just tie ends to hold in place.
Do not use this pattern to make things for sale for personal use only fine to give as gifts for Christmas and Mother’s Day and things of that sort.

>I started this dress years ago when my youngest daughter was actually a size 2T. Well it was placed on the back burner along with another one for the reason I didn’t get them done before she out grew the size. I found them recently again I really should get back to them and get them done. No one in my family can wear them now. But I could always put them away for the next generation to wear. I have three copies of the original book in my collection one is missing the back cover and part of the pattern becasue of that, one is torn in the middle but everything is still there and one is mint so to speak. I have noticed that even though I have three copies they are hard to find on the internet for other crocheters. But I did find one person who has them in her photos and a ton more antique patterns check them out. So I set them up on ravelry and posted the links so others could make these dresses. there are 7 adorable patterns in the original book I have made one and started two others. Here is the link on Ravelry where you can find the links to all 7 patterns. These are all thread dresses ranging from size 30 thread which is what the two on this page are to size knit-cro sheen. These are not yarn patterns. As you can see these are both almost half way done.Who knows why I never finished probably moved and packed them and by the time I found them she was to big.
I posted about Precious Pet a long time ago I had made it larger so my daughter could wear it at 7 years old but as a blouse. She still does wear and is almost nine so if you play with the patterns a little you can get them to fit older children.
Here is the one named Flower Girl that I am making.
This one is called Daddy’s Pal but I modified it when I made mine and added sleeves and a picot edge to the neck.

Whip-up invited me to be a guest blogger and post what ever I wanted. So I thought it would be nice to post a knitted version of a fingerless mitten on Whip-up and a crochet version of the same thing on my blog. That way both sides of the community have a similar pattern to work with. Please check out the knitted one on whip up today and checkout the crocheted one on here later in the day. Thank you and have a lovely Fall season.

>Fall is just around the corner. Which for me means cold hands while warming up the car in the morning. I have never liked my ends of my fingers covered while removing the ice from the windshield makes it hard to hold the scrapper. So fingerless gloves are in order. You can hold your tool and keep your hands warm. If you do not crochet I have also made a similar pair in knitting (if you want the knitted ones snugger just go down one needle size). That pattern will be on Whip-up in on Oct. 13th. I hope this makes both sides of the fiber community happy.
One size fits most female adults
Supplies
1 large skein of Sock yarn size 1 super fine. If using a differnt yarn it will effect your pattern.
size D hook 3.25 ( if you want a snugger mitt go down 1 size in hooks if you want larger to fit a man go up 1 or 2 sizes in hook)
pattern
Chain 13 Leave a long tail to sew cuff into a round (enough for about 12 sewing stitches)
Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook and in all the rest of the chains, (12 sc)
Row 2-40: ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across but only in the back loops to form ribbing (12 sc)

>Part 19: A Little Dress in Need of Love

This little dress came as a set when I got it, but not a true set. Meaning the original owner may have used them together or a descendent did. They originally did not make them to be a set meaning they didn’t make them to match as the laces are different.
The dress I am pretty certain has silk embroideries on it as the lay very smooth and flat and rayon tends to not want to do that. The embroidery is exquisite.
The sad thing is this dress is in need of repair to the lace trims, see above photos there is also damage to the button closure on the back of the dress, which was a lace trim issue as well. The lace was attached to a hem stitched edge which is a way of imitating Swiss entredeux which makes it easier to attach lace to.
The lace is breaking out at the header of the lace. If you do not know what a header is here you go. It is the top of the lace. If you make bobbin lace you are use to this term if not it is new to you. It will be important to know this as this is where a thread is pulled from to gather ( 100% cotton) lace to make it fit around curves and such in heirloom sewing. This technique does not work well with synthetic laces although they do have a header.
A reacquiring theme here pin-tucks on shoulders.
The slip is real simple has deep arm holes, and a deep button opening this is so it can accommodate older children as well a little ones. There is a simple sc trim all around the neck and arms, the hem is sc as well with a sort of picot edging. The slip is not in need of repairs at all. The hem edge is as follows
crochet pattern for edging
- sc all the way around ( used for neck arms and hem on neck and arm cut and finish after this step for hem do not cut and finish but continue on)
- sc, *chain 5, skip 4 sc on previous row, sc in next stitch,* repeat around.
- * sc in sc, 3 sc in chain space ch2, 3 sc in same chain space as last 3 sc,* around cut and finish thread

Here is the baby slip I made to reproduce the one in Part 5. Now when I say reproduce I am not making an exact copy of the original the pattern I am trying to keep the same size and all that. even though I hated that the original had snaps I used them to try and keep that the same if I make it again in the future it will have mother of pearl buttons at the shoulders. But the embellishments as you have seen I am taking a little liberty with since I get to keep them. This one originally had just sc around the neck area in all white and a pink 3 round crochet trim at the hem. The white part was so it would not show through the dress above it (my assumption on that one other wise I have no reason to explain that).
I wanted one color and not two colors. I sort of failed there. As I was using antique size 50 crochet thread with a handmade size 16 steel thread crochet hook with what I thought was pink but as I worked through the ball I figured out that the outside of the ball was sun faded from time. So it went darker to a medium lavender color. Not what I originally wanted but am fine with. So if you look close you can see a little pink at the hem and none at the neck as I did the hem first and all the pink was used up in that area. I don’t usually mind things like this I figure it just gives character to the piece. the first picture in this post is true to color the hem color detail is way off in the last photo the colors are not that extreme or I would have torn it out.
