Aika selvittäminen pitsimallissa oli. Seurasin silmukka silmukalta ja kerros kerrokselta ja samalla kirjasin silmukat symboleina ruutupaperille ylös ja sitten neuloin mallitilkun. Ensin luulin, että peitto on tehty useasta kaistaleesta, jotka on ommeltu toisiinsa, mutta mallikertojen välissä saumoilta näyttävät kohdat onkin tehty langankierroilla ja yhteenneulotuilla silmukoilla. Reunapitsiä olen selvittänyt puolen mallikerran osalta. Reunapitsi on neulottu ensin ja sitten ommeltu kiinni peittoon.

Jos jostain löytyy tällaisen peiton ohje, niin kertokaa ihmeessä. Varmaan tämä malli on jostain vanhasta lehdestä peräisin.

Hilja, my father’s mother knit me a baby blanket almost 50 years ago. I don’t remember Hilja at all as I was about 1 year old when she died in 1962. I have only two pictures of her and neither of them is very good quality, but as I look very much like my father, I also have some resemblance to Hilja. This blanket is the only memento I have of her and it’s already very badly moth-eaten. I think I have inherited my "lace knitting gene" from Hilja.
I’m charting a pattern of this blanket and then I'll knit a shawl after it. The center pattern I have already sorted out and knit a swatch of it. Charting of the edge pattern is at the halfway point. I have followed stitches of the shawl one by one and row by row and wrote symbols down and then I knit a swatch following my chart. At first I thought that this blanket was made of four long and narrow pieces and sewed then together, but the center piece is done in one piece. There are yarnovers and stitches knit and purled together between pattern repeats and they look like a seam. The edge lace is sewed afterwards
If you have seen this kind of lace pattern somewhere, I'll be glad to hear. I think this blanket pattern must be from an old magazine or book, maybe from 1950's or earlier.
