Darling Clementine is what I've named this little shawl. The colours in this variegated yarn remind me of the leaves and blooms of one of my favorite fruits. And of course there's the folk song which always brings a smile to my face.
I've based Darling Clementine on the vintage design pictured below (oh how I adore vintage patterns) originally published by Bernat in 1975. I opted for a light cotton yarn (Patton's Grace) instead of the bulky weight yarn suggested in the pattern. I also omitted the suggested fringe for a simple single crochet edging.
I'm pleased with the light weight airy feel of this shawl. It's the perfect weight for surviving the addiction to air conditioning in Texas.
