Lost in Time

Mijo Crochet
Scheepjes Catona

Finally time to release the “Lost in Time” shawl pattern. The name came to me becouse of the vintage feeling it has and also that the time flies by working on this shawl 🙂 This pattern is a repetition of 12 rows which means you can use any yarn or hook and customizing your shawls size by the number of repetitions.

Thank you so much Charlotta Hjortbacken (@charlottahjortbacken on Instagram) and Lisa Cook (@lisasattik on Instagram) for testing this design  ❤

This shawl is made of  bits and pieces of Scheepjes Catona, a 1oo % cotton yarn, and hook 4.0 mm. The size is aprox 145 cm wing span and 75 cm over the spine, tassels not included. The total amount of yarn is between 6 and 7 skeins of Catona 50 g. For this multi coloured version use the color guide at the bottom of this page.

You can buy the yarn for this version of the shawl via my Amazon US Storefront *. Be sure to look at the color guide below as a reference for yarn quantities.

  1. Hello Mijo from Australia,

    Thank you so much for your generous spirit of sharing and your fabulous designs.
    I have ordered yarn for Lost in time and have started the project, I used your colour guide but it looks very different to the patten diagrams.
    I am up to row 14 but your colours are very different, I only realised because I am using a black & white copy, I hopped on line to check a stitch and noticed your colour scheme is very different from what is written on the colour chart the multi colour version.
    Did I get it wrong? I have just been using ginger gold and topaz so far….
    I can see that the colours do change but your colours look splendid should I go back…. Hmm

    Warm regards
    Ingrid

      “Hi Ingrid!
Yes the pictures in the patterns doesnt show the correct colors according to the color guide. So just go with what the color guide says and you will end up with the same multi colored shawl that I made 🙂”

      All the best,

      1. Nu har garnpaketet kommit från Favoritgarner. Härligt Catona-garn i djupa färger. Det ska bli roligt och intressant att virka “Lost in time”. Har inte virkat på 50 år. Så håll tummarna.
        Jag hade också önskat att få mönstret också i grafisk form, eftersom jag håller på att lära mig symbolerna. Tänkte ställa en fråga om det här. Nu förstår jag varför du enbart har skrivna beskrivningar. Inte roligt att bli bestulen. På Pinterest och vissa andra sajter finns det t o m kopior av hela virk- och stickböcker tillgängliga. Förstår inte folk att det är stöld? Ha en glad påsk!

      2. Hej! Vad härligt det låter med djupa färger av Catona. Det är ett så himla fint garn att virka med 🙂 En maska och ett varv i taget så kommer det att gå bra, det är jag övertygad om. Blir det problem är det bara att höra av sig.
        Det är verkligen helt otroligt vad vissa har mage att göra. Jag har till och med varit med om att en person laddade ner mina gratismönster som hon sedan sålde som PDF-filer på Etsy. Som tur var tog hon genast bort den försäljningen när jag mailade och sade till.

        Glad påsk!! 🙂

  4. Johanna your pattern for the Lost in Time shawl is spectacular! I’m a very experienced crochet buff, and this will be the first time I will have made a project for myself…I love the color changes as it has a very Turkish flare to mine. Once I figured out getting started I’ve been working hard to finish it. I did get off track in the early rows which has caused it to curl on me. Should I finish the second repeat and block now before I gather anymore stitches? Please let me know what you would advise moving to the finish line. I think once I block it on the wires it should all work out fine. I hope you are willing to give me your feedback anyhow. What gorgeous work u do!

    1. That is the stitch count, the number of stitches you should have on each side of the shawl after finishing the row. This is so that you can keep track of your stitches.

  8. Hello! mijocrochet ~ :>) I loved this Lost in Time shawl pattern when I first saw it! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us. I am working this up in the Mandela / Sphinx colored yarn (bought two cakes to start with), and I love the feel of this yarn as I’m working with it!

  11. Hi! Preparing everything to begin with this. I am absolutely in love with the design and color choice and I have tried to stick to it as much as possible since Catona is not available in my country. Question; Is there any video tutorial, either english or spanish to follow it, plus the instructions? I am more visual and I only found one in Turkish!!! Quite hard to follow, besides the lady knits super fast! Thanks for reading me. Greetings from Argentina.

    where and how To buy the cotton which you use since France?

    1. Hi Jeanne,
      Yes you can use a gradient cake yarn for this pattern, it works out very well. In the blog post I have specified which I have used. I have seen it been made in very many different yarns and I think all work fine. A cake yarn should be about 1000 meters to be enough for the pattern, more if you are a tight crocheter 🙂

Hello, I come back to you… It is good I managed to have the explanations for points as well as diagrams thanks to a friend I do not understand(include) why from a computer to the other one we do not obtain the same results(profits) in the tuto you do not specify when it is necessary to change color, I tried to follow according to the photo of the shawl but half is missing….

      3. I’m using a cake yarn from Lion Brand called Mandala in the Chimera colorway. I bought several cakes of different dye lots in order to get different shades of the same color and cut the colors apart. I’m using a different color for each row and loving the results! Since this yarn is a little rough for my taste, I’ll be washing it with hair conditioner for softening.

  21. Hi Mijo!
    I just wanted to say “Thank You” for the beautiful pattern. I made 2 as gifts and got so many compliments with them. I’m not going to lie, the pattern scared me in the beginning, I never redone so many times in my life. I thought because I just started crocheting about 2-3 years but I guess I wasn’t the only one who was struggling. Once I got through the 1st repeat it wasn’t so scary anymore. Once again thank you so so much for this beautiful pattern. I’m wishing you all the best, always.
    Sincerely,
    Ann

    I was wondering what math should I do if I want to know how many dc,sc,popcorn or groups…. I have in each row when i’m doing my repeats. I just undo few row because I found i had uneven number of groups on one side from the other side.

    1. Hi!
      On my FAQ page is a guideline to keep track of the stitches:

      “All rows with single crochets increases with 2 stitches / side and all rows with double crochets increases with 4 stitches / side.”

      I hope this helps,
