Product Details
Donita is a thick, cozy triangle shawl with an allover diamond and ladder lace pattern, knit using the two-color brioche stitch. The deep colors and bright speckles combined in this shawl remind me so much of my early days of listening to riot grrl punk bands like L7, Lunachicks, The Gits, Babes in Toyland, and so many more. This shawl is named for the co-founder and lead singer of L7, Donita Sparks, the ultimate feminist punk rocker.
This symmetrical triangle shawl is knit from the bottom up, with increases along the edges. The shawl begins with a geometric diamond stitch pattern, which grows with the shawl. The diamond stitch pattern continues as the shawl grows, until the end where a simple loop border pattern is created. This shawl is so simple to modify by adding or omitting pattern repeats!
