The name of this pattern originates with the Shipot Waterfall – one of the most gorgeous waterfalls to be found in the Carpathian region. This 14-meter high waterfall got its name from the Ukrainian word “whisper”, because the sound of fast falling water, similar to a murmur, is heard far from the falls. Even being located in an isolated place, the waterfall has become a famed attraction that tourists from Europe and Asia love to visit every year.

At armhole level, work is divided into Front and Back, which are finished separately, shoulder seams are joined using the three-needle bind-off method. Sleeves are worked from the armhole down, minimal sleeve cap shaping is achieved using short-row shaping.
