### Shawlette Pattern Inspired by Shakespearean Comedy: Portia Are you a fan of Shakespeare’s delightful comedies? Even if they are a tad predictable and, in today’s liberated climate, sometimes a touch un-PC, there is an irresistible charm in the Bard’s timeless sense of humor. Imagine vibrant cross-dressing heroines, witty gender-bending exchanges, and clever practical jokes—all hallmarks of Shakespearean fun. Just like these comedies, our knitting patterns bring joy and creativity to your crafting experience! As a passionate knitter, I find immense pleasure in making beautifully fitting shawls. Unfortunately, I've often encountered patterns that look stunning when laid flat but turn into a bunchy mess when worn. After dedicating countless hours to crafting an intricate wrap, the last thing I want is to hide my hard work under unsightly gathers! To solve this problem, I designed a unique structure for all the shawlettes in this series—a lovely half-circle shape that gracefully conforms to the shoulders. This thoughtful design ensures that every stitch is showcased beautifully. Inspired by the unforgettable female characters of Shakespeare, I’ve dedicated this series to Good Old Bill’s remarkable ladies. Each shawl features a consistent framework, yet every piece boasts its own distinct and captivating pattern. Whether you prefer written or charted formats, we've got you covered! This versatile approach accommodates various knitting styles and skill levels, making it easy for you to enjoy the crafting process. ### About Portia Di Create your own masterpiece and celebrate the whimsical world of Shakespearean comedy with our Portia shawlette pattern.
