Rhiannon Lace Shawl by Jennifer Lee
What is Being Made
The Rhiannon is an elegant lace shawl designed by Jennifer Lee, perfect for layering during transitional weather or evening occasions. This versatile wrap can be worn in multiple ways and features a single button closure to keep it securely in place. The shawl is available in four sizes ranging from Small to Extra Large, with lengths from 130cm to 160cm (51 to 63 inches) and a consistent depth of 56cm (22 inches) across all sizes.
Techniques and Construction
The Rhiannon shawl is constructed using lace knitting techniques worked on larger needles to create an intentionally open, airy lacework pattern. This design choice produces a more delicate fabric than typical shawl constructions. The pattern is rated as Easy, making it accessible for beginner knitters who have basic knitting experience. The shawl is worked at a deliberately looser tension than standard recommendations, which contributes to the open lacework aesthetic and allows the fabric to drape beautifully across the shoulders.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The shawl utilizes fundamental knitting stitches including knit stitches as the foundation for the lace pattern. The pattern incorporates lace motifs that create the characteristic open, decorative holes throughout the fabric. These lace elements are what define the shawl's visual appeal and contribute to its lightweight, elegant appearance suitable for both casual and dressy occasions.
