Re: Baby shawl on Downton Abbey

I am also looking for the pattern. I knitted this shawl myself 20 years ago but they shawl has a rip and I need the pattern to repair it. I know the pattern was printed in the Woman's Weekly about 22 years ago. The pattern and wool could also be bought in kit form from a company in Northern Scotland.

The shawl is knitted from the outside in and it took me about 6 months to knit it.

It would be great if you could give me any information.

thanks

Aine

I found this beautiful collection of baby shawls on line from Shepherd patterns. Not quite baby Sybil's shawl but these are beautiful jus the same.

Yes! I love that baby shawl. I tried looking on Ravelry under "Christening" , Downton Abbey Shawl, and Sybil's shawl hoping that someone had posted this pattern on line but to no avail. I'll keep looking to see if I can find something on this beautiful shawl.

Did anyone else notice baby Sybil's shawl on last Sunday's episode of Downton Abbey? It was beautiful, and I'd love to have the pattern!
