Ohra

Ohra is the Finnish word for barley. The soft, textural quality of this shawl reminds me of gentle, rippling fields of grain on a summer evening.

Materials: 

Yarn: Ohra is designed to use 4 colors of fingering weight yarn. You’ll need 2 full size skeins (100 g) and 2 minis (20 g) or the equivalent.

Sample uses Olann Sock Sport fingering weight (80% superwash merino wool/ 20% nylon, 399 yards 365 m). A suggested substitute is below.

• MC1: Alchemy (black/white/peach speckle) 
• MC2: Driftwood (peach/green variegated) 
• CC1: Broken Promises (pale peach variegated) 
• CC2: Moth (black/white speckle)

Other Notions: Stitch markers, cable needle, scissors, crochet hook (US 8 or similar size), darning needle

Gauge: 17 sts and 32 rows over 4” in stockinette. Note that gauge is not critically important for this design, but your finished dimensions/ yarn usage will vary if your gauge differs from that stated.

Pattern Notes: This triangle shawl is worked from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast on.
