Product Details

Inspired by little Lucy Snowe, heroine of Villette and perhaps literature's most vexing narrator. This small shawl has a dual nature like our heroine. Starting as a shallow triangle in unassuming stockinette that reflects her self-characterisation as plain, it transforms into a sensual crescent with a lace border that has the innate beauty, complexity, passion and snowflake-like fragility that are Lucy's other face.

This is a crescent-shaped top-down shawl that starts life as a very shallow triangle.

The lace portion does have some complexity and would be best suited to knitters who have some lace knitting experience. There are no resting rows, as patterning is on both sides of the lace. You should be able to perform yarnovers of all flavours, and some ability to read your knitting will help you considerably.

The sample was knit in Cariad Fiber Arts Cashmere Lace. A substitute yarn is shown below.

Also available as part of the Charlotte Bronte Shawls collection.
