Twisted’s neighborhood, Sullivan’s Gulch, is named after Timothy Sullivan, who was a world-class traveler until settling in Portland, building his homestead, and inspiring a neighborhood to be named after him. He met his wife, Margaret, in Tasmania in 1841. This shawlette seems the kind of thing a globe-trotting, practical 1800s woman would throw on to head out to tend to the chickens.

Margaret Sullivan's Shawlette by Shannon Squire
Project Overview
Margaret Sullivan's Shawlette is a beginner-friendly knitting pattern designed by Shannon Squire. This downloadable PDF pattern guides crafters through creating an elegant shawlette—a smaller, more versatile version of a traditional shawl that works beautifully as a shoulder wrap, neck accessory, or layering piece.
What You'll Create
This project results in a finished shawlette, a triangular or crescent-shaped knitted accessory that combines style with wearability. Shawlettes are ideal for knitters seeking a project that delivers impressive results without requiring the extensive yardage or time commitment of a full-sized shawl.
Craft and Techniques
This pattern uses knitting as the primary construction method. The beginner difficulty level makes it accessible to newer knitters while still producing a sophisticated finished piece. The pattern incorporates fundamental knitting techniques suitable for those building their skills and confidence in the craft.
Materials
Margaret Sullivan's Shawlette is worked in 4-ply yarn, a lightweight yarn weight that creates delicate, refined fabric. This yarn weight is ideal for shawlettes, producing a drape that flatters when worn while remaining manageable for beginner knitters. You will need appropriately sized knitting needles suitable for 4-ply yarn construction.
Pattern Format
This pattern is available as a downloadable PDF, allowing immediate access to instructions for printing or digital reference while you work.
