Flotus Shawl

In honor of Michelle Obama and all the remarkable First Ladies who have shaped our nation, the Flotus Shawl has been crafted as a tribute. This stunning shawl features a beautiful gradient that will capture your attention, combined with a delightful sprinkle of texture, making it a perfect example of potato chip knitting at its finest. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned knitter, you'll find that this shawl is not only fun and fast to knit but also boasts a truly presidential flair. With its eye-catching design, this shawl will effortlessly transition from your needles to your neck, becoming a cherished accessory in your collection.

Size/Finished Measurements: This elegant accessory features an impressive wingspan of 78 inches and is 16 inches deep at its center, ensuring it wraps beautifully around your shoulders.

Yarn Requirements: For this shawl, you will need approximately 645 yards of total fingering-weight yarn. I used Knitted Wit Victory Fingering for my creation: 45 yards each of a Gumballs Sixlet Gradient Set (colors A-F), plus an additional 375 yards of a First Lady Sprinkle (color G). This combination not only enhances the stunning visual appeal of the Flotus Shawl but also offers a luxurious feel against the skin.

Perfect for showcasing your love of knitting and honoring a significant figure in history, this pattern will surely become a favorite among yarn enthusiasts. So gather your materials and embark on a delightful knitting journey to create your very own Flotus Shawl. Experience the joy of creating a piece that is as beautiful and inspiring as the First Ladies we pay homage to!
