Winter Dawn Shawl Pattern

winter dawn pattern party of five

Winter Dawn is originally our 2017 Advent Shawl pattern that has been re-worked to use our Party of Five mini-skein sets (rather than the 24-skein Advent kit) but of course, you can use any combination of fingering-weight yarns and colours.

 Intuitively flowing from one transition to the next, like the way the winter sun dawns above a horizon of evergreens, this accessory brings rich colour to the forefront. Elegant and softly textural, the almost free-form stitches bring both comfort and ease to your knitting escape.
