This lovely hand dyed yarn beautifully captures the colours of the northern lights dancing against a dark sky. With a simple combination of garter stitch and yarn overs these pretty colours get to dance across the dark background of this easy crescent-shaped shawl. It is worked from the top down with only knit stitches, yarn overs, and increase stitches, making it a quick and easy project.
This pattern was originally designed in collaboration with Hilori’s Magical Yarnorium as part of the Cross Country Canada Road Trip KAL. The pattern, and the colourway Dancing Skies, represent Canada’s Northwest Territories. See also: Lichen, Berries and Moss.
