Sillhouette and Sky
Sillhouette and Sky
PDF KNITTING PATTERN. PRICES ARE IN USD.
Inspired by branches and raindrops against a rich sunset, Silhouette and Sky uses simple colourwork combined with bobbles to create texture and colour pattern. This project has lots of special details - the tubular cast-on creates a perfectly rounded bottom edge; one golden bobble above the brim evokes the last rays of the day’s sunlight, and the final stitches in matching gold could be the rising North star.
This pattern was originally the September pattern for the Gauge Dye Works Summer 2019 Yarn + Pattern Club. It’s now available to everyone. It’s included in the SKY collection along with Morning and Evening and Sun and Moon. Get the yarn from Gauge Dye Works.
