U Shawl

[fran]

A couple of months (or so) ago clearwaters posted a photo of a blue knitted shawl. I was very taken with the shape and made one in crochet. It isn't lacey but is very warm and stays on the shoulders. It has a nice drape in the back. My neighbor consented to model it for me. I will be making more of these. There is a mesh row about every 10th row.

Admin Note:

An exact pattern has not been posted, but in Post #53 fran says that general instructions are given in two posts: Post #33 and Post #36, and should be enough information to make the shawl.

Nice!! Are you going to post the pattern?

[EminsMom]

It is absolutely beautiful. I love it.

Fantastic! Looks great, you did a wonderful job

[LibiLou]

I would love to make one of these for my mom. She is bedbound most the time and a regular shaw is difficult for her to use. Would you be willing to post the pattern?

[diamond]

WOW! You crocheted the 'Pi Square' shawl!! Great job!!! Is there a pattern forthcoming?

[fran]

Is that what it's called? I was just going by the photo of the blue knitted shawl that was posted on this forum some time ago. As for the pattern, I didn't think anyone would want it. I was just playin' around.

[LibiLou]

Yes, it's definately called the "Pi Square" shawl! And I would definately want a pattern if you care to write it up! I'll test your pattern for you even!

[fran]

[Katchkan]

Looks like you have a winner. :yay It is very Beautiful and and unlike most shawls that wont stay put yours will. :clap You had better start writting that pattern, :cheer

[klouised]

You did a great job! I had thought about trying to make up a pattern, but you beat me to it. I love the colors you used. It's too hot here for me to be crocheting something so warm. Did you use acrylic or cotton yarn? I can't tell.

[fran]

The yarn is RH SS - Ocean.

[crochetlady]

Fran you have done a wonderful job!!! And the shawl drapes very nicely on your model!!

Oh please please write up a pattern for this! Yours looks great, I haven't been able to find even the knitting pattern "Pi R Squared" to try to *convert*. Add another vote!

 

Great job!

Great job!

I need to make a correction in the actual name of this shawl, it's "Pie Are Square Shawl" and/or "Pi Square Shawl". The original knit pattern is in a book called "Knitting Around" by Elizabeth Zimmerman, published by Schoolhouse Press in 1989.

Thank you for the info, Cheryl. I finally found a pic of it on the net. It's a circle! I didn't know that. Although I did know that pi r squared is the formula for the circumference of a circle. Sounds like she did all sorts of mathmatical calculations. My shawl is the "by guess and by golly" school of math. Ok, ok. I'll write it up just for "U" all at Crochetville.

[crochetdiva]

Very pretty shawl, and so practical. Great job!

[kusine]

Very nice! Great job with your intrepretation of the knit pattern.

[yarncat]

Nice shawl,Fran!

[Terri/LadySorce]

Great Job Fran

 

I am looking forward to your pattern.
