How the Odds Are Shawl Crochet Along Works
Over the next 4 weeks of January 2025, I will post sections of the Odds Are Shawl crochet pattern. Each post will go live at 10 am Central US time, barring technical difficulties. There will also be a video tutorial for each section, shared in both right and left-handed versions. These posts will be right here on mooglyblog.com, and free for all! On your end, all you need to do is make the pattern – no need to sweat the deadline, take your time!
The Schedule for the Moogly January 2025 Crochet Along
The Odds Are Shawl pattern will be divided into four posts, and each post will be released on the remaining Mondays in January 2025, at 10am Central US time. I will come back and add links to the schedule below as each week goes live!
Here is the Schedule:
1st Part and Video Tutorial: January 6 (This Post)
2nd Part and Video Tutorial: January 13
3rd Part and Video Tutorial: January 20
4th Part and Video Tutorial: January 27
There are no deadlines for finishing, and this one is not a race – jump on in when you’re ready, and work at your own pace. You can also use this pattern for a crochet along at your local craft group!
The Yarn for the Odds Are Shawl
To make this crochet shawl, I used Caron Colorama Halo Perfect Phasing yarn – just one skein! So this is a wonderful project with which to give it a try. This pattern shows off the beauty of this yarn’s truly perfect gradient or ombre. And when you’re all finished, there are just 2 ends to weave in! This yarn is available on Yarnspirations.com and on Amazon.com.
