Aunt Millie’s Shoulderette
Mom, Aunt Candy and I have been working on a project since around Christmas. Candy has an antique shoulderette – shrug – shawl with a sleeve, what ever it is called. Our great Aunt Millie had knit this quite a long time ago. Candy was given it and has treasured it for years.
The shoulderette is rayon, from what we can gather, so it had to be done after 1911, as rayon came into the hands of knitters (and crotcheters) about that time. Rayon is the first of the man-made fibers that was used commercially as well as for home use.
Candy loaned it to me to see if I could copy the pattern.
If you are interested in attempting the shoulderette, it is listed on our Etsy page.
It’s a medium skill project. The pattern is in PDF, so it's easy to download!
The picture following is one of the original one.

That is beautiful! When I first saw it, I thought that it was something that could change from a shawl to a shrug on a whim, but then you said that only one side has a sleeve. That is so interesting! The pattern and color are beautiful.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!
