Odetta

This is the companion shawl to the Detta Shawl published in 2018. Detta uses short rows to frame a series of garter stripes. She is volatile, unstable and completely unpredictable with a unique construction.

Both shawls are meant to use one full skein of your favorite yarn paired with a series of 4 mini skeins or leftover yarn (15g each color)

I love that I can show off much-loved yarn from previous projects in this way or highlight these wonderful minis I’ve been collecting so prominently in a project. It is a way to collect a slice of heaven when I wasn’t ready to buy the whole pie.

This garter stitch project is a meditative project with focus needed only during the first few short row waves until you learn the rhythm of the short row pattern. It will be the perfect project for travel, sports games, social knitting or just episode binging.
