Odell
Odell is the second design in KC Knitting Co’s Seasons of Cascadia pattern collection, inspired by the four distinctive seasons of the Pacific Northwest and featuring yarn dyers from Oregon and Washington. This design is named after a small town outside of Hood River, Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge, where spring is a rush of blooming growth and intricate, majestic beauty. (February in Portland is the first Seasons of Cascadia pattern.)
This top is knit sideways; you will cast on at the center front of the garment and knit the entire garment flat in one piece, starting with the left front, then the back, and then the right front. You will bind off and seam the piece together in the front at the same time.
The pattern includes directions for the top with the diagonal slip stitch motif that appears in the tan sample, as well as directions for a solid-colored version that is the blue sample. It also includes diagrams, charted and written slip stitch directions, and video tutorial links!
This pattern is #sizeinclusive with finished bust measurements from 33-66”/ 84-168cm.
