New Pattern: Oya Shawlette

DSC_0050

Ok, so there are a million triangle shawls out there. What makes this one different? Knit from the bottom up, this scarf features a simple, but effective, twisted drop stitch pattern that is easy to memorize. Since it is a one-stitch repeat, you can easily expand the scarf as you go, without worrying about how to add in a wider stitch pattern repeat.

Oya was inspired by the African Goddess of Wind, Fire, and Storms.

You will first create the triangle to your desired width. Then, you will pick up and knit the border all the way around the shawl.
