Wrap yourself in romance with this beautiful shawl. Inspired by the poem by John Keats, this shawl also features elements from Pre-raphaelite paintings.

The shawl blends three motifs, separated by rows of eyelets. It is worked in two halves, which are joined together at the back of the neck.

The shawl is generously proportioned, but could be made either longer or shorter, depending on the number of repeats of some of the lace motifs.
