Liz is a light-as-a-feather lace stole that is a re-imagining of my Elizabeth triangular shawl pattern. The design combines the same classic Shetland motifs with a minimalist construction method, resulting in a contemporary stole that is fun to knit and versatile to wear as either a wrap or a wide scarf.

Liz may look complicated, but it uses only six simple stitches and is quite easy to knit. And the sampler nature of the design ensures that you will not be bored, as the motifs change rather frequently. Liz is worked seamlessly in two mirrored halves starting from the center using a provisional cast on and worked down to both ends. This is an excellent pattern for those of you who are new to working provisional cast ons, as I have included detailed instructions to show you how, including helpful hints and a video link.

Liz is very easily adaptable to your preferred size and width; there are detailed instructions explaining how to adjust the size, including yardage estimates.

Lace weight yarn is highly recommended for this pattern in order to capture the ethereal quality of the design, although lovely results may be obtained with fingering weight as well. Liz will beautifully showcase your favorite subtly-variegated hand-dyed, tonal or solid colored yarn. 

The Liz pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
