The Lizzie Shawl

Discover the enchanting world of knitting with our exquisite shawl pattern inspired by the beloved literary heroine, Elizabeth Bennett. This beautifully designed shawl is perfect for adding a touch of elegance and warmth to your wardrobe while capturing the essence of classic literature. Imagine yourself walking across the moors, much like Lizzie, with this stylish piece draped effortlessly over your shoulders to shield you from the cool breeze.

The shawl features a graceful elongated crescent shape that combines a simple garter-stitch body with a delicate, knit-on lace edging, offering a perfect balance of simplicity and femininity. This stunning design is versatile, allowing it to be worn in various styles: loosely tied at the front, wrapped around your neck for added coziness, or left open to flutter charmingly in the wind. Sizes S and M can be knit using just one skein of fingering-weight yarn, while size L will require approximately a skein and a half.

You will need a set of US size 6 24" or longer circular needles and one size 6 DPN specifically for the lace border. This pattern is designed with detailed written instructions alongside an easy-to-follow chart for the lace border, making it accessible to knitters of all levels. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to build your skills, this pattern provides a delightful project that perfectly captures the spirit of literary inspiration.
