Melodia is one of my most popular patterns to date.
Hundreds of knitters around the world have fallen in love with its simplicity and understated beauty, and many have knitted it more than once.
Including me! I just knitted my third one.
Whenever I have the time, I like to visit my old patterns and envision them in different yarns and colors. This time, I used one skein of Atelier Zitron Seidenstrasse (65% merino, 35% silk; 400 m / 437 yds per 100 g), which I bought from Germany years ago.
Melodia is a one-skein wonder, so it knits up quickly. It also means it’s not too bulky, so you can wear it wrapped around your neck as a scarf, which is how I like to wear my shawls.
You knit this crescent-shaped shawl top-down with a familiar combination of garter stitch and eyelets. Horizontal garter stitch sections separate the decorative eyelet sequences for visual breathing room.
It’s a relaxing project, perfect for knit nights, traveling, or a knitflix binge.
(I may or may not have ignored all chores and binged on Veep while knitting my third Melodia.)
