A unique bridge between shawl and poncho, the versatile Elizabeth Ann Seton is essentially two crescent shawls joined only at the shoulder, creating drape at the neck and exposing the arms. The wide neck opening can be worn either off one shoulder or on both shoulders for ample drape. Shaped with short rows and tuck pleats, the piece showcases knit pleats with lace panels. Worked in a cotton/merino wool yarn with gorgeous halo, this is a rich statement piece. See the accompanying article in the Spring 2026 Cast On for further discussion on pleats, pleat fold lines, and tucks.
