Wrap yourself in the warmth of camaraderie and yarn with the Elizabeth Simply Social Shawl.

This shawl is part of the outstanding BiCrafty Stitch-Nite pattern collection. This collection is more than a bunch of patterns, it is an online stitch-along course perfect for groups of knitters and crocheters that want to make something together and have expert guidance along the way. This collection is available in the Marly Bird House.

This charming piece begins with a subtly intricate lace edging, an eight-row pattern that sets the stage for the simple yet striking garter stitch that makes up the body of the shawl. Crafted with short rows that flow effortlessly without the need for wraps and turns, this design ensures that your hands can keep up the rhythm even when you’re lost in conversation.

Whether you’re a knitting novice looking to dip your needles into the world of lacework, or an expert knitter seeking a project that won’t demand all your attention, the Elizabeth Simply Social Shawl is your companion. It’s the perfect project to carry along to a social gathering, allowing for the joy of knitting without missing a beat of the surrounding buzz.

The pattern is a unisex gem, inviting everyone to enjoy the satisfaction of creating a hand-knitted treasure. Accompanied by a detailed written pattern, a clear stitch pattern chart, and not one, but two instructional videos by Marly Bird, this shawl is an accessible adventure into the world of knitting. The guidance provided will have you confidently working through the pattern, ready to flaunt your creation after just two weeks – ideal for a stitch nite group project. So, cast on and let the threads of yarn weave you closer to your fellow crafters with every stitch.
