An oldie but a goodie

Jill's mom died a few months ago from breast cancer. She was such a neat lady. We didn't know each other well, but we did have a couple things in common, like books and knitting. Jill found a baby shawl that her mom had been working on, and asked me if I'd finish it up for her. What an honor! The hardest part was trying to figure out which row she stopped on. After a couple unsuccessful tries, I ended up taking out one side and redoing it.  The pattern is easy to follow, and goes quickly. I've been unable to find the same pattern published anywhere else, so I'm sharing it here so that the legacy will live on. It was originally in a pamphlet by Coats & Clark, titled "Woolies for Babies." Near the bottom of the pattern, where the hole punch is, the pattern should read, "Repeat 3rd to 35th rows inclusive once more." Enjoy!
