Dawn to Dark
Dawn to Dark is addicting to knit and cozy to wear. The textured pattern creates beautiful linesand is easy to memorize. Choose a base yarn and grab a bunch of fluffy yarn to go with it
– all in one color or as many as you want. Perfect for using all of your left-overs!
Materials:
- Yarn: 2 skein of fingering weight sock yarn (approx. 365 m / 400 yds per 100g) AND and equalamount of mohair or suri alpaca or other fluffy yarn (anything from lace to fingering weight).
- Needles: 3.5 mm / US 5 circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge.
- Optional locking stitch marker to keep track of the RS of the work.
Gauge:
18 sts x 22 rows = 10 cm / 4” in garter stitch, after blocking.
Sizes:
one size
Wingspan: 252 cm / 99”
Depth: 30 cm / 12”
Notes:
The shawl is worked holding two yarn together throughout – a fingering weight base yarn and anymohair / suri alpaca / etc. lace to fingering weight yarn (accent yarn). The shawl is perfect for usingminiskeins or other odd ends and scraps left over from other projects. You can change the accentyarn at any point want, do you can use every last inch of your yarns. The sample shawl used surialpaca in two colors, a lace weight mohair-silk and a fingering weight mohair-silk.
The edges have a slipped stitch pattern. Make sure not to knit these too tightly. I gave my slippedstitches a slight tuck on every row to make sure they would not be pulling the work in too tightly.
You can alter both the width and the length of the shawl, so the pattern will work for a variety ofyardages. The ones given in the pattern are what the sample used.
