- Jane_Gaugain abstract "Jane Gaugain (née Alison; born, early 19th century) was a Scottish knitter and writer. She built up a successful business in Edinburgh, Scotland and published 16 volumes on knitting that helped make it a popular pastime for ladies and a source of income for lower classes of women. Her unusually written pattern books are important in the history of textiles in Scotland.Gaugain was born in the early 1800s and was the daughter of a tailor. After marrying, she worked in her husband's shop at 63 George Street and helped turn it into a thriving haberdashery. Gaugain wrote and disseminated knitting patterns throughout the 1830s from her shop and published her first pattern book in 1840. It was called 'Lady's Assistant in Knitting, Netting and Crochet.' She had a particular way of writing her patterns with full instructions at the beginning detailing the meanings of abbreviations. The book was very popular.

Throughout the 1840s and 50s, she published a great many titles. In response to reader's feedback, she began to produce charted paper and instructions that allowed knitters to create their own designs and began accepting mail orders at the Edinburgh shop. She died in 1860. She is buried in Edinburgh’s Dean Cemetery near the waters of Leith.".
