The symbol in a shape of a curving teardrop or a kidney, known in English as paisley, has been a popular motif in fashion for centuries. From ancient Babylon, through Celtic, Persian and Indian origins with its hidden messages and mysterious symbolism, the iconic motif has had quite a journey.
The Odes Shawl pattern brings this popular motif to modern days handknitting, still giving you vintage vibes. The shawl is worked in mosaic knitting technique, combining stockinette and garter stitch for a textured look. The Odes shawl was made by combining a fingering weight and mohair yarns, held double, or can be made in DK weight yarn.
This pattern is a sister pattern to the Ode shawl, which was made in fingering weight yarn in two colours, with a wavy border.
