Lisbon Circular Shawl by Jill Wolcott
What is Being Made
Lisbon is a circular knit shawl designed by Jill Wolcott, worked from the center outward to create a stunning finished accessory. The shawl features six trumpet-shaped segments that resemble azaleas, which form delicate ripples along the outer edge when blocked. This design is available in three finished sizes: small (36" diameter), medium (50" diameter), and large (68" diameter).
Design and Construction
This moderately engaging pattern uses a sixteen-stitch pattern repeat that creates visual interest while remaining easy to follow. The circular construction method—working from center outward—allows knitters to achieve a surprisingly-simple and delicate finish despite the intricate appearance of the final piece. The shawl's distinctive trumpet shape is created through strategic needle size changes at different segments, which help form the beautiful azalea-like ripples characteristic of this design.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Lisbon shawl employs circular knitting techniques worked in the round from the center point outward. The pattern features the Azalea stitch pattern, which is the primary stitch used throughout the shawl. This pattern repeat is worked consistently across the six segments of the circular shawl. The use of changing needle sizes between segments is a key technique that creates the trumpet-shaped formations and contributes to the overall aesthetic of delicate ripples along the finished edge.
Yarn and Needles
Lisbon is designed for lace weight yarn, which creates the delicate, intricate appearance of the finished shawl. The pattern calls for size 3 (3.25mm) needles for the small and medium sizes, with larger needles used to achieve the large size. The gauge is 7.5 stitches per inch and 8 rounds per inch (30 stitches and 32 rounds over 4 inches) when working the Azalea pattern on the specified needle size.
Skill Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who are ready to tackle a more engaging project. The straightforward pattern repeat and clear construction method make it accessible despite its intermediate rating.
