(I don't recall who sent this pattern to me
years ago, but it is not Bev's so she is not able to answer questions
on it. The pattern is copyrighted to the sender and to Bev's Country
Cottage. (c) 2000)
"A
nurse who works in an “elder care” department at a local hospital made
a request. Patients brought in often had nothing but the clothes on
their backs. They complained of the cold, trying to wrap various
items around their shoulders. After searching the internet for
something appropriate and finding nothing substantial, the following
pattern was developed. Pattern is designed to be
elbow-length." Anon donor of pattern
