Whitman

Introducing the Whitman shawlette, an exquisite sideways knitting project that showcases the stunning greens of TurtlePurl's Pillow Talk yarn in the enchanting colorway "We Were Looking For Leafy". This captivating design is perfect for knitters who want to create a beautiful accessory that celebrates nature and artistry.

Named in honor of the legendary poet Walt Whitman and his iconic poetry collection Leaves of Grass, this shawlette is the third installment in the creative series known as the Seven Sonnets. With its elegant silhouette and intricate details, the Whitman shawlette not only charms with its visual appeal but also pays tribute to the beauty of poetry and the written word.

The pattern features a unique charted design that includes twisted stitches and reverse stockinette, making it a wonderful project for knitters looking to expand their skills. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or eager to try new techniques, this shawlette offers a delightful challenge.

For those who prefer a more compact shawlette, you can easily modify the size by eliminating one set of repeats, which will result in a project that requires approximately 400 yards of yarn. This means that even if you're working with limited yarn, you can still create a stunning piece.

The sample shawlette is crafted using Turtlepurl Yarns’ Pillow Talk in "We Were Looking For Leafy", which enhances the pattern's natural aesthetics. Should you need a suggested substitute, we’ve provided options below to ensure you can replicate this beautiful look.
