Lydia Bennet Shawl

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books. Lydia makes me laugh. She is her mother's favorite child and Mrs. Bennet adores and spoils her. She was allowed into society far earlier than what would be deemed appropriate. Maybe her immaturity leads to her poor and humorous romantic choices. They are somewhat relatable though!

This is the first accessory in my Bennet Sisters Knitwear Collection.

Knitting of this shawl starts at the small point and increases along one edge to create a right triangular shawl. It features simple garter stitch with decorative edge patterns. The patterns include eyelets, decreases, and low-profile bobbles.

Sizes: The shawl size can be adjusted by the gauge/yarn weight and by increasing or decreasing your pattern repeats. 58-82in/147-208 cm along longest edge.

Interesting Techniques: Three-st bobble from three rows below – Written instructions + video tutorial link in appendix.

Yarn: DK, Only one color needed. 200-300g/ 568-822 yds
