Here are some more wraps from the Coats & Clark's Book No. 514, printed in 1957. The first one is different from any I have ever seen before, consisting of a knot stitch cape attached to a narrow solidly crocheted scarf. In the picture below, the model has wrapped the ends of the scarf around to the back and fastened the narrow ends with hooks and eyes. The scarf crosses over itself in the front. It is crocheted of super fingering yarn.
The evening shrug below is very feminine and pretty over the strapless dress. It is crocheted of 'Crochet Wool', and transparent iridescent pailletes are crocheted into the fabric.
The description of this generous stole says that the long length is a new fashion feature. Knitted of knitting worsted on size 10 needles, it measures 24 inches by 72 inches (not counting the fringe).
The following stole is my favorite in this booklet, so lacy and pretty. It is crocheted of fingering yarn and measures 22 inches by 76 inches.
The red stole, knit in a diagonal texture stitch, is trimmed with 'jersey' which is used for the pocket flaps and the collar. The entire front edge is faced with 1 1/2 " wide grosgrain ribbon. It measures 18" by 60". The model has belted it, and it looks like a blouse or jacket.
I have three new cardigans in progress, a red garter-bordered jacket, a cafe-colored cardigan, and I am just starting a lavender one. I'm not sure what I am going to do with the lavender, but probably another lace panel down the fronts.
