Moogly January 2025 Crochet Along

The Odds Are Shawl is a soft, luxurious, one-skein crochet pattern! Worked in rows with a mixture of textured stitches, it’s a joy to stitch and the perfect gentle start to the year. This pattern is being shared here on Moogly as a free crochet along over the month of January 2025!

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!

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.

When I was trying to decide which color to use… I couldn’t! So after a little internet polling, I narrowed it down to two. The first version I made features the Lavender Frost colorway, which I took with me on my Craftours trip to England. I quickly fell in love with the stitches and found it to be the perfect meditative project for on the road or relaxing with after a long day.

After I got home, I remade it and refined it a bit while making another one, using the Tin and Tan colorway! We were able to film that one as I made it, so there will be very thorough video tutorials for each section, and you’ll see how this colorway changes throughout. I can’t wait to see it in even more colors – and even other yarns!

The Hook for the Odds Are Shawl

For the hook, I will be using a Susan Bates US-K, 6.5 mm Twist and Lock hook. Gauge isn’t really important for this pattern, so if you find that you prefer the fabric you get with a J or even an L hook, feel free to use that instead! This is a fuzzy yarn, so you’ll want to make sure it’s comfortable for you.

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!

Remember – 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!
