Pattern details
Pattern details
Daybreak is a beginner friendly shawl project knit top-down from the centre of the wingspan edge to the border. Stockinette stitch with slip stitch stripes form the radiating sun motif. Choose one skein of each colour (main colour + contrast colour) in fingering weight yarn for a graphic two-colour version. You can use as many contrast colours as you like to create a gradient sunset effect. The pink purple sample features one main colour in cream with six juicy mini skein colour pops for the contrast colours. These contrast stripes are perfect for mini skeins or leftover amounts of fingering weight yarn. Self-striping yarns are also fabulous for a colour-changing contrast colour. Daybreak comes in three sizes to accommodate a variety of different yarn amounts. Cast on this classic Westknits pattern and knit from sunrise to sunset.
