Juniper Moon Farm Shawl Crochet Pattern

Juniper Moon Farm Odveig Wrap

What is Being Made

The Odveig Wrap is a crocheted triangular shawl designed by Claudia Wersing as part of the Cosy Collection. This wrap features elegant lace construction that transforms from a narrow cast-on edge of 4¾ inches to a generous bind-off edge of 19¾ inches, with a total length of 72 inches. The finished dimensions create a versatile accessory suitable for layering and draping.

Construction Method and Techniques

This wrap is worked seamlessly in a bottom-up construction, beginning at the lower edge and expanding outward. The piece is worked flat using a sideways approach, which allows the decorative leaf pattern to run along the left side of the wrap. The design employs strategic increases worked into the last stitch before a marker, creating the triangular shape while maintaining pattern continuity throughout the 72-inch length.

Stitches and Pattern Details

The Odveig Wrap combines fundamental knitting stitches with a charted lace motif. The pattern utilizes knit stitches, purl stitches, and knit through back of loop increases to create texture and shaping. Garter stitch forms the selvage edges throughout, providing clean finished sides. A 24-row leaf motif chart forms the foundation of the pattern, with right-side rows worked from right to left and wrong-side rows worked from left to right. The stitch count varies while working the pattern, requiring careful attention to the charted instructions. The pattern repeats from the 24-row chart throughout the length of the wrap, with increases strategically placed every 9 to 11 rows to maintain proper shaping.

Materials and Tools

• Yarn: Juniper Moon Farm Herriot in color 1049 Rosewood, requiring 3 hanks of 100 grams each
• Needles: US 7/4.5mm circular needles, or size needed to obtain proper gauge
• Notions: Stitch markers for tracking pattern placement
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 34 rows to 4 inches over garter stitch using US 7/4.5mm needles

Finishing

Once the wrap reaches the desired 72-inch length and all stitches are bound off loosely, careful blocking is recommended to enhance the lace pattern and ensure proper drape of the finished piece.
