lost pattern

[courtin]

Around 1973 a wonderful woman took time to show me how to crochet. She gave me a pattern which I apparently lost soon after. She is now dead and I have been unable to locate anything similar. I believe the name contained the word meditterean (spelling probably isn't right). It looks like a cresent or shell in it. They also have points on them. It is not a hard pattern but I have been looking everywhere for it. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

You have to be a Villager to post photos on here.

I wanted to clarify, all members can post photos; you do not need to be a Villager. Photo posting instructions are found here.

 

Wish I could help with the pattern!

That pattern was also published in the 70's in a Columbia Minerva baby book and the pattern was called "Queen Anne's Lace". It was my favorite pattern back then and I have done many full sized afghans in the pattern.

 

Fun pattern!

I saw that pattern just the other day. Thought I had printed it but I can not find it. It was a free one from Annie's attic or it was from free patterns.

 

I'll keep looking.

Go look at today's Annie's Attic Pattern of the Day. It is a baby quilt but I think it is similar. I remember that pattern from the 70's and I made a shawl for someone but have not kept the pattern because it was alot of work.

there's a pattern on the e-patternscentral.com website that may be what you're looking for

In case the link doesn't work, the pattern is called Pastel Baby Throw.

I don't know if this is EXACTLY what your pattern is, but Crochet Pattern Central (Annie's Attic) has this:

Hey looks like that one she sent the picture of!

[marikamum]

Hey!

 

Check this out - it was a pop-up on the Annie's Attic Pattern of the Day site...

 

Is it the one?

[Donna]

You're welcome, Mari Allen! You have to register an account at Photobucket in order to use it, but it is free (no cost). Here is a tutorial on how to post Photobucket photos written by one of our members: pictorial **Photobucket GUIDE** to adding clickable thumbnails.

Thanks Donna! I tried one link to photobucket somewhere on here, but I didn't get in. I thought it was because of my status. Does photobucket require some sort of membership? I have tried snapfish too, but didn't get anywhere. Either I don't have the right software, or I am not doing something else right. I will try the steps in the link you posted.

 

Thanks again!!!! Love this site!

[courtin]

:clapThank you to Marikamum! There is now a picture of the pattern I am looking for in thread #10. I hope this helps.

This shows you how to make that stitch and it would be easy to join it at the sides as you go along.

[marikamum]

It looks like the general method of creation is in strips of crescents made in a similar fashion to this scarf (Ruffle Scarf - where you do a partial-round motif and then continue on to another, joining through the centre of the previous motif. It looks to me like the stitches around the initial chain ring are probably dc followed by chain loops, which you then join through on subsequent strips - but the photo is a bit fuzzy so it is hard to tell...

 

This scarf also has a similar effect...

Here is a picture of the pattern (emailed to me by Courtin):

I'd love to see a picture also since that is about the same time someone taught me to crochet.

You have to be a Villager to post photos on here. I would suggest attaching your photo to a Private Message. If you send it to a Villager, they could upload it for the rest of us.

 

Have you tried a Google Search?

 

Good Luck!

 

I'm happy to post it if you can pm or email it to me... I'm quite curious

[courtin]

No but it is beautiful. I have a picture but don't know how to upload it. Any idea?

[kathome]

Is it just a plain shell pattern? In other words, do the "crescents" repeat over and over on each row???

[darski]

is this one possible?

[courtin]

It would be an afghan pattern. I'm sorry I did not say that.

[texasredhead]

It would help to know what type of pattern you are looking for??? Afghan, clothing, or what? Did you ever make anything from the pattern that you still have? Maybe a picture would help. Sorry your lady friend has died, I sure hope you can find that pattern you are looking for.
