Euanthe

In Aran weight yarn, DK weight yarn, Patterns, Shawls & Shawlettes, Shop sample available by Shannon

Euanthe is one of Jupiter’s irregular moons in the Ananke group of moons (Jupiter has a whopping 53 named moons, and many unnamed ones, to boot). The moon is classified as eccentric and retrograde, which is a fantastic way to describe this shawl: a bit off the beaten path, but not too far, it’s both fun to work and toasty to wear.
