Original lace pattern by Mrs. Jane Gaugain.

Pattern Description from Victorian Lace Today: “’At the request of many ladies, who were doubtful of succeeding in forming a shawl from the cushion receipt in the accompaniment to the Second Volume of my work, I have been induced again to present that beautiful specimen of knitting, extended for the above purpose. It can be worked in all white; or white centre and coloured shaded border; say twelve shades of gold colour, commencing at the lightest….To a person of taste, there is great scope for variety….The beauty of this is the simplicity - alternating stripes of graduated colour and white - seven shades of pink embroidery wool….’ Jane Gaugain”
