Oddity is an extra long scarf designed specifically for Patons Classic Wool Worsted in the Palais colorway. This scarf’s chevron shape is defined by Garter stripes, and is bordered with a slipped stitch edge.

I bought this yarn knowing I wanted to knit a scarf, but I didn’t have anything specific in mind beyond that. I knit a swatch (of my own free will) to get my gauge, and then continued on to test out some stitch patterns. After several unsuccessful attempts at producing a scarf pattern I didn’t hate, I set the yarn aside. A couple of days later, I woke up to the news of David Bowie’s passing which hit me a lot harder than I thought. Revisiting his records and looking at my pile of yarn, highlighted with stripes of Ziggy Stardust-esque red and electric blue, inspired me to knit again, and Oddity was born.

In Honor of David Bowie
