neckerchief news

My cunning little pattern for the neckerchief didn’t quite work out. The Merseyside pattern made for a cute little shawl but not quite what I was looking for. It actually is very similar to the little shawl that was worn by Marguerite in the Grenville ball sequence in the 1982 version of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Scary I notice these things.

Anyway, here are some pictures to show you what that shape looks like on. To make the pattern, I just took the sketch and enlarged it in the computer until the length was 44 inches. I printed out the pattern, traced it onto tissue paper and cut the toile from there.

At this point I think I will wait until the gown pattern is fitted, then drape a pattern for the neckerchief.
