A Stole of Many Colours

1950s vintage crochet; stole in small granny squares with fringe




  1. My mother made a similar stole in the early 1950s - just like your picture and about the same time as she taught me to crochet!!!!

    1. I'm sure she looked as elegant as the Vogue model in it, too. Did you start crocheting granny squares, I wonder?

  2. I have one of those stoles too. Mine was made by my mother-in-law's mother-in-law and I traced it to the Vogue book that you mention. It's a lovely pattern.

    1. How amazing to have such a lovely stole. I hope you wear it?

    2. Actually it's attached (with stitch markers) to the back of the rocking chair in my bedroom where I can admire it every day. I did start crocheting a version of it using Appleton's Crewel wool but life got in the way ...

    3. Good use of stitch markers! Yes, I can see that other things might get in the way. The patterns says casually "Make 250 medallions". Though I suppose you could make one every day, and it would only (only!) take a year - you could even have weekends off and a fortnight's holiday....
