Poe

While creating my Seven Sonnets shawlette, I found inspiration in the haunting works of Edgar Allan Poe, an author I've always admired. The moment I encountered the rich, dark purple yarn from Shalimar Yarns, I immediately envisioned the elegant wings of a raven. This evocative color brings to life the mystery and allure of goth-inspired creations, making it a perfect choice for this project.

This beautifully designed shawlette is worked from the top down in a single piece, featuring striking wing sections that utilize a unique cable-garter stitch pattern. The central portion showcases an intricate blend of cables and lace, elevating this piece beyond a simple accessory to a true work of art. With its graceful shaping, this shawlette embodies a half-circle or crescent silhouette, perfect for draping elegantly over your shoulders.

Please note that the pattern instructions are provided in charted format only, ideal for advanced knitters who prefer visual guides. The sample is knitted using Shalimar Yarns Breathless, known for its luxurious feel and vibrant colorways.
