Product Description
“I have the greatest dislike to the idea of being over-trimmed -- quite a horror of finery…I have some notion of putting such a trimming as this to my white and silver poplin. Do you think it will look well?” -Jane Austen, Emma
Mrs. Elton may fear being overtrimmed, but you need not worry about such a thing with this simple, understated ring. It’s a snap to knit up and can be made in any color combination imaginable to match your every outfit with style.
This coordinates with [Mrs. Elton’s Necklace][1].
Pattern Notes: This ring is stretchy by nature, since it is knitted. The finished size should be close to the recipient’s ring size, but there is a little elasticity and give in the finished item. The garter stitch border on each side of the ring will curl under a little, giving the finished ring the appearance of an icord like band.

Project Overview
Augusta Elton's Ring is a knitted jewelry piece designed by Kirsti Johanson as part of the Travelling Stitch Sisters pattern collection. This understated ring is inspired by Jane Austen's Emma and offers a simple, elegant accessory that can be customized in any color combination to coordinate with various outfits. The design pairs beautifully with Mrs. Elton's Necklace, also available from the designer.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
This intermediate-level knitting project employs straightforward techniques suitable for knitters with some experience. The ring features a garter stitch border on each side, which creates a textured edge that naturally curls slightly inward, contributing to the finished aesthetic. The inherent stretchiness of knitted fabric makes this ring adaptable to different finger sizes while maintaining a polished appearance.
Stitches Used
- Garter Stitch – Forms the decorative borders on both sides of the ring, creating texture and subtle curl
Materials and Yarn Weight
This pattern uses lace weight yarn, which creates a delicate, refined finished piece. The lightweight yarn allows for intricate stitch definition while keeping the ring comfortable and elegant. Knitters can select any yarn color or combination to match personal style preferences and coordinate with existing jewelry and wardrobe pieces.
Sizing and Fit
The finished ring size should closely match the intended wearer's ring size. Due to the natural elasticity of knitted fabric, the ring offers slight give and flexibility, accommodating minor variations in finger size while maintaining a secure, comfortable fit.
