Margaret Sullivan's Shawl
THIS IS A DIGITAL PATTERN FILE, NOT THE ACTUAL KNITTED PIECE!
One of the neighborhoods in Portland that I used to spend a lot of time in is Sullivan’s Gulch, named after the Sullivan family. Timothy was a world-class traveler until settling in Portland and building his homestead. 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.
YARN
approximately 750 yards/686 m fingering- or sport-weight yarn. I used Knitted Wit Fingering in Stonewall for the pink variegated shawl and Knitted Wit Sport in Fighting Iris for the purple shawl.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
70" wide, 20” deep at center.
More information, including gauge and suggested needle size, can be found on my website.
