I just completed a sweater with a shell pattern that was originally from Woman’s Weekly May 1936. The pattern was re-written by Susan Crawford and Jane Waller in their book A Stitch in Time: Vintage Knitting Patterns 1930 – 1959 Volume 2. I used Cascade Yarns Heritage 75% Superwash Merino Wool/25% Nylon. Color No. 5705
It took me about a month and a half to make and I love the pattern,however, I did find that I made the pattern a bit to big for me and the the shoulders of the sweater ended up looking a bit off. I also didn’t make the jabot for the front of the sweater as I like the sweater without that detail in the front.
I am going to have to remake the sweater…but I might give it a bit of time before I unravel it all and start again.
