Question
Made a crochet baby shawl which was round the material was wool not cotton some 30 years ago and have lost the pattern, can't find one in any shops here, have asked friends but they have made one.  Am desperate to get a pattern - Can you please refer me somewhere.  Many thanks, Carolyn   PS  am in South Australia !!

Answer
Hi Carolyn,
I looked through all my patterns and I don't have a round baby blanket either.  I will search online and if I find something, I will forward it to you.

I don't know what the design was, but perhaps you could take a regular round doily pattern that usually uses small thread.  Just use your wool yarn.  Take into consideration the finished size they're giving you using the thread.  Make a swatch using your yarn and you should get a pretty good idea of what the enlarged size will be.

Let me know if you need any help with this.   In the meantime I will search for a round baby afghan.
