This scarf is named after my maternal Grandmother, Josephine Treinen. She was an amazing woman, barely 5 feet tall, who packed a lot of spunk.

Grandma Josie was an accomplished artist and talented seamstress who sold and serviced Pfaff sewing machines.. I was lucky as a small child that she took me along to assist on service calls in clients’ homes. As we made our rounds, she taught me the ins and outs of sewing.. I am so blessed to have spent so much time with such an amazing lady.

My grandmother passed away as I was about to attend my Junior Prom, wearing a beautiful lace and ruffle ‘Gunny Sack’ design that my Grandma Josie helped me to construct. It was our last project together. I’ve been flooded buy so many fond memories of her as I knit this pattern.. I’m so grateful for her.

Little Josie is constructed of simple 2x2 ribbed cable pattern set off by a field of garter stitch and ichord edge.
